AudioStreamInteractive
Inherits AudioStream
Audio stream that can playback music interactively, combining clips and a transition table.
Description
This is an audio stream that can playback music interactively, combining clips and a transition table. Clips must be added first, and then the transition rules via the add_transition(). Additionally, this stream exports a property parameter to control the playback via AudioStreamPlayer, AudioStreamPlayer2D, or AudioStreamPlayer3D. The way this is used is by filling a number of clips, then configuring the transition table. From there, clips are selected for playback and the music will smoothly go from the current to the new one while using the corresponding transition rule defined in the transition table.

Methods
void add_transition(int from_clip, int to_clip, int from_time, int to_time, int fade_mode, float fade_beats, bool use_filler_clip = false, int filler_clip = -1, bool hold_previous = false)
int from_clip, int to_clip, int from_time, int to_time, int fade_mode, float fade_beats, bool use_filler_clip = false, int filler_clip = -1, bool hold_previous = false)Add a transition between two clips. Provide the indices of the source and destination clips, or use the CLIP_ANY constant to indicate that transition happens to/from any clip to this one. * from_time indicates the moment in the current clip the transition will begin after triggered. * to_time indicates the time in the next clip that the playback will start from. * fade_mode indicates how the fade will happen between clips. If unsure, just use FADE_AUTOMATIC which uses the most common type of fade for each situation. * fade_beats indicates how many beats the fade will take. Using decimals is allowed. * use_filler_clip indicates that there will be a filler clip used between the source and destination clips. * filler_clip the index of the filler clip. * If hold_previous is used, then this clip will be remembered. This can be used together with AUTO_ADVANCE_RETURN_TO_HOLD to return to this clip after another is done playing.
void erase_transition(int from_clip, int to_clip)

PackedInt32Array get_transition_list() constReturn the list of transitions (from, to interleaved).
int get_transition_to_time(int from_clip, int to_clip) const
int get_transition_to_time(int from_clip, int to_clip) constReturn the destination time position for a transition (see add_transition()).
bool has_transition(int from_clip, int to_clip) const
bool has_transition(int from_clip, int to_clip) constReturns true if a given transition exists (was added via add_transition()).
bool is_transition_holding_previous(int from_clip, int to_clip) const
bool is_transition_holding_previous(int from_clip, int to_clip) constReturn whether a transition uses the hold previous functionality (see add_transition()).
bool is_transition_using_filler_clip(int from_clip, int to_clip) const

void set_clip_auto_advance(int clip_index, int mode)
int clip_index, int mode)Set whether a clip will auto-advance by changing the auto-advance mode.
void set_clip_auto_advance_next_clip(int clip_index, int auto_advance_next_clip)
int clip_index, int auto_advance_next_clip)Set the index of the next clip towards which this clip will auto advance to when finished. If the clip being played loops, then auto-advance will be ignored.
void set_clip_name(int clip_index, StringName name)
int clip_index, StringName name)Set the name of the current clip (for easier identification).
void set_clip_stream(int clip_index, AudioStream stream)
int clip_index, AudioStream stream)Set the AudioStream associated with the current clip.
Constants
TRANSITION_FROM_TIME_IMMEDIATE = 0
Start transition as soon as possible, don't wait for any specific time position.
TRANSITION_FROM_TIME_NEXT_BEAT = 1
Transition when the clip playback position reaches the next beat.
TRANSITION_FROM_TIME_NEXT_BAR = 2
Transition when the clip playback position reaches the next bar.
TRANSITION_FROM_TIME_END = 3
Transition when the current clip finished playing.
TRANSITION_TO_TIME_SAME_POSITION = 0
Transition to the same position in the destination clip. This is useful when both clips have exactly the same length and the music should fade between them.
TRANSITION_TO_TIME_START = 1
Transition to the start of the destination clip.
FADE_DISABLED = 0
Do not use fade for the transition. This is useful when transitioning from a clip-end to clip-beginning, and each clip has their begin/end.
FADE_IN = 1
Use a fade-in in the next clip, let the current clip finish.
FADE_OUT = 2
Use a fade-out in the current clip, the next clip will start by itself.
FADE_CROSS = 3
Use a cross-fade between clips.
FADE_AUTOMATIC = 4
Use automatic fade logic depending on the transition from/to. It is recommended to use this by default.
AUTO_ADVANCE_DISABLED = 0
Disable auto-advance (default).
AUTO_ADVANCE_ENABLED = 1
Enable auto-advance, a clip must be specified.
AUTO_ADVANCE_RETURN_TO_HOLD = 2
Enable auto-advance, but instead of specifying a clip, the playback will return to hold (see add_transition()).
CLIP_ANY = -1
This constant describes that any clip is valid for a specific transition as either source or destination.
