  Hi guys is there any way to change the volume of the soundfile of a narration text? Narration text doesnt have any volume controls just loading a sound file.

  
  

  Cheers

  I believe audio files linked to narration texts are also controlled by the global voice volume.

  But if yes, then it will change all the voice volumes. I need to change them separately:\

  You might be able to do that once Simon has finished working on the new audio system.

  you could try and see if getting the soundID of the current played narration audio file via lua and then use the SetSoundProperty function to set its volume independantly:

  
  

  local soundID = getSoundId('vispath:path/to/narratortext.ogg')
  setSoundProperty(soundID, {flags=1, volume=80}

  Thank you so much Sebastian, I'll try that!

  @Sebastian: The current Lua sound engine uses the global sound volume channel for sounds played via it. You can tweak the volumes of the individual sound, but it will be x volume level percent of the global sound volume value.

  Maybe exactly what he needs?

  Can you access sounds played via action parts with it? I don't think I've ever actually tried.
