How to end audio after playing for x amount of seconds

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

how do i play an audio when player is loaded into a game, and then stop it after it has played for 5 seconds. I want it to fade out. I’ve tried alot of scripts and no luck.

You can just simply go ahead and do a if statement, probably best with a loop to keep checking.

local Sound = WhereYourSoundIs
if Sound.TimePosition == 5 then
 Sound:Stop()
end
#3

@UhhQuoi is right, but I would go like this:

local Sound = WhereYourSoundIs
if Sound.TimePosition >= 5 then
 Sound:Stop()
end

This should work:

local Sound = WhereYourSoundIs
if Sound.TimePosition >= 5 then
	for i = 0.1, Sound.Volume do
		Sound.Volume = Sound.Volume -0.1
		wait(0.1)
	end
	Sound:Stop()
end

The sound is in workspace. I put the script in workspace as well under a local script. I only want the client to hear it.

I took your script and edited it:
local Sound = workspace.game.S1
if Sound.TimePosition >= 5 then
for i = 0.1, Sound.Volume do
Sound.Volume = Sound.Volume -0.1
wait(0.1)
end
Sound:Stop()
end

It does nothing.

put the local script to the starterplayerscripts

you need to start the song, and keep checking many times, this should work:

local Sound = workspace.game.S1

Sound:Play()

while wait() do
	if Sound.TimePosition >= 5 then
		for i = 0.1, Sound.Volume do
			Sound.Volume = Sound.Volume -0.1
			wait(0.1)
		end
		Sound:Stop()
	end
end
#8

Still nothing. I put it into starterplayerscripts.

#9

Do you mean enable the option for “playing” in the audio? Where do I put the script? I tried your script still nothing.

#10

make a remote event called “Loaded” on the replicatedstorage
and make a script on the server script,
then use this code:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Loaded:FireClient(player) -- if loaded then fire
	end)
end)

and you need to put local script in the starterplayerscripts
and put this code in:

game.Workspace.game.S1:Play()
local Sound = game.Workspace.game.S1

game.ReplicatedStorage.Loaded.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() --listen the event
	wait(5) -- wait for 5 seconds
	for i = 1, 18 do -- fade the sound
		Sound.Volume -= 0.1
		wait(0.1)
	end
	Sound:Stop() -- stop the sound
end)

hope this works

No still nothing. I did all the steps. I put the Remote event in replicatedstorage and renamed it to Loaded. Then i put a script into serverscriptservice and used your script. Afterwards I put a local script into starterplayerscripts and used your script and tested it out a few times. Still nothing. Just silence.

Try something along the lines of.

Wait(5)
Game.Workspace.AUDIONAME.Volume = 1 
wait(0.1)
Game.Workspace.AUDIONAME.Volume = 0.8
wait(0.1)
Game.Workspace.AUDIONAME.Volume = 0.6
wait(0.1)
Game.Workspace.AUDIONAME.Volume = 0.4
wait(0.1)
Game.Workspace.AUDIONAME.Volume = 0.2
wait(0.1)
Game.Workspace.AUDIONAME:Stop()
#13

Hm, But when i test it, it works fine, maybe try to check your sound volume and make sure its not 0

#14

I think I know what the issue is. There is something I’ve never seen before called “commiting” when i tried to publish the game the scripts that i made from you were not “committed”. What does that mean?

#15

There is no code to play the audio? Do I enable the playing option for the audio? Where do i put this script?

#16

Commit means to publish a script so other people can see it, if a script is not committed only you can see the script. For others. Nothing changes.

#17

Since GetPropertyChangedSignal does not work on TimePosition (not sure why), we can simply constantly check if the TimePosition >= 5

local Sound = game:GetService("SoundService"):WaitForChild("SOUNDNAME") -- the sound instance should be parented inside of SoundService
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out) -- .5 being the time to fade out
Sound:Play()

while Sound.IsPlaying and task.wait() do
    if Sound.TimePosition >= 5 then
          local tween = TweenService:Create(Sound, tweenInfo, {Volume = 0})
          local con
          tween:Play()

          con = tween.Completed:Connect(function()
              con:Disconnect()
              Sound:Stop()
          end)
          break
    end
end

Should work, might be some syntax issues since I wrote it here.
