• The Resource is used to blend between two audios, similar to FMod.

Trick to only play the walking sound on the correct AnimatedSprite frames .

• Interesting and very simple.

• An array is stored with the frame numbers where the character's foot touches the ground, so the sound only plays if the current frame is one of those.

Making a slider to change volume .

• Two interesting things are mentioned:

  • Conversion of 'linear' values to 'db' and vice versa.

  • Access to the 'audio bus' via an @export var bus_name : String , which is awkward since it's a string, but it works using the string for the AudioServer.

Creating 'global sounds' by instancing AudioStreamPlayers in the world, then queue_free() them .

• I don't know if this makes much sense. It doesn't seem efficient. I just saved this option as a reminder that it exists.
