GetSoundWaveData

This function gets the wave form data for an audio stream which is a table of floats representing the current audio frame as a wave. This allows things like visualisations.

If the element is a player, this function will use the players voice.

Syntax

table getSoundWaveData ( element sound, int iSamples )

Required Arguments

• sound: A sound element that is created using playSound or playSound3D. Streams are also supported
• iSamples: Allowed samples are 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192 and 16384.

Returns

Returns a table of iSamples/2 floats representing the current audio frame waveform. Returns false if the sound is not playing yet or hasn't buffered in the case of streams.

Example

This code creates vertical waveform of sound in center of screen from top to bottom. [1] Key 9 - start, key 0 - stop.
