Detailed Description

Base class defining a sound's properties.

sf::SoundSource is not meant to be used directly, it only serves as a common base for all audio objects that can live in the audio environment.

It defines several properties for the sound: pitch, volume, position, attenuation, etc. All of them can be changed at any time with no impact on performances.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SoundSource() [1/2]

sf::SoundSource::SoundSource ( const SoundSource & copy )

Copy constructor.

Parameters

copy	Instance to copy

◆ ~SoundSource()

virtual sf::SoundSource::~SoundSource ( )

virtual

Destructor.

◆ SoundSource() [2/2]

sf::SoundSource::SoundSource ( )

protected

Default constructor.

This constructor is meant to be called by derived classes only.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getAttenuation()

float sf::SoundSource::getAttenuation ( ) const

Get the attenuation factor of the sound.

Returns: Attenuation factor of the sound

See also: setAttenuation, getMinDistance

◆ getMinDistance()

float sf::SoundSource::getMinDistance ( ) const

Get the minimum distance of the sound.

Returns: Minimum distance of the sound

See also: setMinDistance, getAttenuation

◆ getPitch()

float sf::SoundSource::getPitch ( ) const

Get the pitch of the sound.

Returns: Pitch of the sound

See also: setPitch

◆ getPosition()

Vector3f sf::SoundSource::getPosition ( ) const

Get the 3D position of the sound in the audio scene.

Returns: Position of the sound

See also: setPosition

◆ getStatus()

virtual Status sf::SoundSource::getStatus ( ) const

virtual

Get the current status of the sound (stopped, paused, playing)

Returns: Current status of the sound

Reimplemented in sf::Sound, and sf::SoundStream.

◆ getVolume()

float sf::SoundSource::getVolume ( ) const

Get the volume of the sound.

Returns: Volume of the sound, in the range [0, 100]

See also: setVolume

◆ isRelativeToListener()

bool sf::SoundSource::isRelativeToListener ( ) const

Tell whether the sound's position is relative to the listener or is absolute.

Returns: True if the position is relative, false if it's absolute

See also: setRelativeToListener

◆ operator=()

SoundSource & sf::SoundSource::operator= ( const SoundSource & right )

Overload of assignment operator.

Parameters

right Instance to assign

Returns: Reference to self

◆ pause()

virtual void sf::SoundSource::pause ( )

pure virtual

Pause the sound source.

This function pauses the source if it was playing, otherwise (source already paused or stopped) it has no effect.

See also: play, stop

Implemented in sf::Sound, and sf::SoundStream.

◆ play()

virtual void sf::SoundSource::play ( )

pure virtual

Start or resume playing the sound source.

This function starts the source if it was stopped, resumes it if it was paused, and restarts it from the beginning if it was already playing.

See also: pause, stop

Implemented in sf::Sound, and sf::SoundStream.

◆ setAttenuation()

void sf::SoundSource::setAttenuation ( float attenuation )

Set the attenuation factor of the sound.

The attenuation is a multiplicative factor which makes the sound more or less loud according to its distance from the listener. An attenuation of 0 will produce a non-attenuated sound, i.e. its volume will always be the same whether it is heard from near or from far. On the other hand, an attenuation value such as 100 will make the sound fade out very quickly as it gets further from the listener. The default value of the attenuation is 1.

Parameters

attenuation New attenuation factor of the sound

See also: getAttenuation, setMinDistance

◆ setMinDistance()

void sf::SoundSource::setMinDistance ( float distance )

Set the minimum distance of the sound.

The "minimum distance" of a sound is the maximum distance at which it is heard at its maximum volume. Further than the minimum distance, it will start to fade out according to its attenuation factor. A value of 0 ("inside the head of the listener") is an invalid value and is forbidden. The default value of the minimum distance is 1.

Parameters

distance New minimum distance of the sound

See also: getMinDistance, setAttenuation

◆ setPitch()

void sf::SoundSource::setPitch ( float pitch )

Set the pitch of the sound.

The pitch represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a sound; thus you can make a sound more acute or grave by changing its pitch. A side effect of changing the pitch is to modify the playing speed of the sound as well. The default value for the pitch is 1.

Parameters

pitch New pitch to apply to the sound

See also: getPitch

◆ setPosition() [1/2]

void sf::SoundSource::setPosition ( const Vector3f & position )

Set the 3D position of the sound in the audio scene.

Only sounds with one channel (mono sounds) can be spatialized. The default position of a sound is (0, 0, 0).

Parameters

position Position of the sound in the scene

See also: getPosition

◆ setPosition() [2/2]

void sf::SoundSource::setPosition	(	float	x,
		float	y,
		float	z )

Set the 3D position of the sound in the audio scene.

Only sounds with one channel (mono sounds) can be spatialized. The default position of a sound is (0, 0, 0).

Parameters

x	X coordinate of the position of the sound in the scene
y	Y coordinate of the position of the sound in the scene
z	Z coordinate of the position of the sound in the scene

See also: getPosition

◆ setRelativeToListener()

void sf::SoundSource::setRelativeToListener ( bool relative )

Make the sound's position relative to the listener or absolute.

Making a sound relative to the listener will ensure that it will always be played the same way regardless of the position of the listener. This can be useful for non-spatialized sounds, sounds that are produced by the listener, or sounds attached to it. The default value is false (position is absolute).

Parameters

relative True to set the position relative, false to set it absolute

See also: isRelativeToListener

◆ setVolume()

void sf::SoundSource::setVolume ( float volume )

Set the volume of the sound.

The volume is a value between 0 (mute) and 100 (full volume). The default value for the volume is 100.

Parameters

volume Volume of the sound

See also: getVolume

◆ stop()

virtual void sf::SoundSource::stop ( )

pure virtual

Stop playing the sound source.

This function stops the source if it was playing or paused, and does nothing if it was already stopped. It also resets the playing position (unlike pause()).

See also: play, pause

Implemented in sf::Sound, and sf::SoundStream.
