Temporarily suppresses the volume of the stage music on every frame this function is called, allowing custom characters to draw attention to special moves or animations. Once the function stops being called, the stage music will return to its original volume.

Both arguments are optional; by default, the stage music is suppressed to 25% volume.

Example 1, called from animation.gml:

// suppress stage music to 25% volume at a rate of 0.01 per frame:
suppress_stage_music();

Example 2, called from animation.gml:

// suppress stage music to 50% volume at a rate of 0.005 per frame:
suppress_stage_music( 0.5, 0.005 );

Returns true if all active players have 1 stock remaining during a stock match.

Example, called from a stage’s update.gml:

// if everyone has 1 stock remaining, crossfade into laststock music:
if (is_laststock()) {
music_crossfade();
}

When called in a stage article, gradually crossfades the music to its laststock counterpart if a valid _laststock music file is detected in the /sounds folder. (A valid laststock counterpart to music_loop.ogg would be named music_loop_laststock.ogg, for example.) Both arguments are optional. This function can be used in conjunction with is_laststock() to replicate the music change on the Aethereal Gates stage.

Example 1, called from a stage’s update.gml:

// if everyone has 1 stock remaining, crossfade into laststock music at a rate of 0.01 per frame:
if (is_laststock()) {
music_crossfade();
}

Example 2, called from a stage’s update.gml:

// if everyone has 1 stock remaining, crossfade into laststock music at a rate of 0.025 per frame:
if (is_laststock()) {
music_crossfade( 1, 0.025 );
}

When called in a stage article, gradually decreases or increases the background music to the target volume.

Both arguments are optional; by default the music will fade to silence. Once the music is fully silent, background music playback will be stopped.

Example 1, called from a stage’s update.gml:

// fade to silence at a rate of 0.01 per frame:
music_fade();

Example 2, called from a stage’s update.gml:

// fade to 10% volume at a rate of 0.025 per frame:
music_fade( 0.1, 0.025 );

When called in a stage article, instantly changes the background music volume.

Example, called from a stage’s update.gml:

// instantly set music volume to 50%:
music_set_volume( 0.5 );
