Question about performance when looping a sound

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey so I am making a footsteps script and this is a part of my script which fades in the Footsteps sound when the Player starts walking.

The issue im having is that the volume goes all the way to the max (10) despite the repeat loop supposed to be stopping when it reaches 1.5.

I’ve tried to increase the Wait() time, I used a for loop, and removed the if statement seeing if that would do anything.

I would appreciate any help, thanks.

repeat
		if Break == false then
			break
		end
		wait (0.025)
		Footsteps.Volume = Footsteps.Volume + 0.1
	until Footsteps.Volume == 1.5
end

Use >= instead.
TweenService might be a better fit.

As @apenzijncoolenleuk1 Apenz1 said, you can use TweenService:

local increaseSound = function(sound, targetVolume, targetTime)
   local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(targetTime, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear) -- Change the easing style if you want
   local volumeTween = game:GetService('TweenService'):Create(sound, tweenInfo, {Volume = targetVolume})
end

-- Example:
local sound = Instance.new('Sound')
sound.Volume = 0
increaseSound(sound, 1.5, 1) -- Change these values for different results.

Depending on what you put in the function, the volume will increase slower/faster (in seconds) and the volume will get louder/softer than 1.5.
