Making sound slower when reaching the end

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

hey guys!! today ive been trying to make a sound that kind of slows down when its nearing the end buut to no avail. tried scripting something with timeposition but it didnt help that much (maybe i did something wrong) please help

You can do that with Sound.PlaybackSpeed and TweenService. Just task.wait() for however long you want it to play normally, and then play a tween with the remaining time of the sound.

oh? alright, ill try doing that. (didnt know tweens work for playbackspeed)

#4

Tweens can be used for every property. It’s really useful.

extremely weird, but even though i tried to tween it it just… stayed the same. heres the code:

task.spawn(function()
		local newsound = game.ReplicatedStorage.otherstuffs.slamsound:Clone()
		newsound.Parent = newave --the part i wanna parent the sound to
		newsound:Play()
		task.wait(1.8)
		tweenservice:Create(newsound, TweenInfo.new(0.05), {["PlaybackSpeed"] = .2}):Play()
	end)

Idk, works just fine for me.
I tried this. I just added a random audio. Are you sure the speed is not already 0.2 or something? It would be weird but idk.

task.spawn(function()
	local clone = script["Audio/markzuckerberg speech"]:Clone()
	clone.Parent = workspace
	clone:Play()
	task.wait(1.8)
	game.TweenService:Create(clone, TweenInfo.new(0.05), {PlaybackSpeed = 0.2}):Play()
end)
#7

Instead of task.wait(1.8), make a variable:
local waitDur = newsound.TimeLength * 0.8
and then
task.wait(waitDur)

For the tween, 0.05 seconds is too fast, try TweenInfo.new(newsound.TimeLength - waitDur)
and adjust it however you want

ohh i found the issue. silly me destroys the newave before the sound gets to fully play. thanks for the help!

After you parent the sound (at newsound.Parent = newave), add this:

if not newsound.IsLoaded then
    newsound.Loaded:Wait()
end

to make sure the sound gets loaded

To delete the sound properly, try this:

local tween = game.TweenService:Create(newsound, TweenInfo.new(numberhere, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {PlaybackSpeed = numberhere})
tween.Completed:Connect(function()
     newsound:Destroy()
end)
tween:Play()
