PlayLocalSound() not allowing me to reduce sound's volume or stop the sound from playing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I am trying to play a local sound for when a player dies, here is my script:

local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://1841249836"
ss:PlayLocalSound(sound)
for i = 1, 0, -.01 do
	sound.Volume = i
	wait(.01)
end	
sound:Destroy()

Currently this does not work. It continues the script after the for loop, but the for loop and the Destroy() have no affect on the sound

Yeah, this behavior is really annoying and there’s no fix.

Instead of using PlayLocalSound, just play the sound normally (:Play()). It won’t replicate for other clients.

Thanks! This only seems to work when I parent it to the workspace, which is why I originally tried the other method, but it’s a shame it doesn’t function this way
