How to fade a playing sound via lua

Hi community,
i'd like to fade a playing sound via lua. In my case a sound is played during a conversation. When the conversation is over, the sound has to fade to zero and stop.

How could that be done?

actually as a thought I was going to say that you could actually use the jump to action part to create a loop & then have it gradually reduce the volume of the sound by x but having just checked the change settings of a sound action part I noticed there is no option to affect sound by a multiplier value, only the sliders exist.

the best method (when next release of VS comes out) would be to use the new lua audio commands to start & control the playing sound. the new player commands are already listed on the new vs wiki (with example code) for anyone who is interested in taking a look.

essentially you would start off with the startSound() command to setup a sound & then you would use the getSoundId() to get the sound id value so that you can use that to control the settings of the sound in the setSoundProperty() command.

I've just linked these here as reference for anyone who is interested.

I'm not sure if I get you right here, but I actually implemented a fading out like that. See screenshot. I connected a value "fader" to the decrease of volume and the speed is defined by the pause inbetween.

yeah globally you can fade out music/sound etc but you can't fade out a single sound.

in the upcoming release you have 2 new additional sound options to control; these being: "movies" & "global". global is good because you can fade out all sounds in one go or set a global volume level while stil being able to control the other 4 sound options.

Ah, I see! Looking forward to the next version then.
