Wait() is wrong even though I defined the time

Hello,
In my script, it is a biome music changer that changes the music based on biome.,
image

local r = {}
local new = false
local loopId = 0


script.Event.Event:Connect(function(s,vol,ye)
	new = false
	if #r~=#s then
		new = true
	else
		for i=1,#r do
			if new==false then
				if r[i]==s[i] then
					new = false
				else
					new = true
					loopId = loopId + 1
				end
			end
		end
	end
	if new==true then
		r = s
		loopId = loopId + 1
		local id = loopId



		if id ~= loopId then return end

		while true do
			for i = 1,#r do
				if id ~= loopId then return end
				script.Parent.ambience.SoundId = r[i]
				if script.Parent.ambience.IsLoaded==false then
					script.Parent.ambience.Loaded:Wait()
				end
				if ye==true then
					script.Parent.ambience.Volume = 0
					script.Parent.ambience:Play()
					game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent.ambience,TweenInfo.new(.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad),{Volume = vol}):Play()
					print(script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength.." leng")
					repeat wait() until script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition>=((script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength-script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition) * script.Parent.ambience.PlaybackSpeed)-0.5
					print(tostring(script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength).." and "..tostring(script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition))
					game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent.ambience,TweenInfo.new(.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad),{Volume = 0}):Play()
					script.Parent.ambience.Ended:Wait()
				else
					script.Parent.ambience.Volume = vol
					script.Parent.ambience:Play()
					print(script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength.." leng")
					wait(((script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength-script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition) * script.Parent.ambience.PlaybackSpeed)-0.5)
					print(script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength.." leng")
					script.Parent.ambience.Ended:Wait()
				end
				print(script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength.." leng")
				print(script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition.." pos")
				if id ~= loopId then return end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Expected:
Music plays and stops according to time length and playbackspeed, does not interrupt even if you swich between biomes back and forth
Reality:
If you switch between biomes back and forth, it will turn the volume to 0 during sound is playing.

It doesn’t stop the sound, it just turns the volume to 0.

First off, don’t put clickbait in your title. People aren’t going to help if they don’t know how, the title has nothing to do with your problem.

Please do this, lol. I was expecting to help someone, but since the title was wrong, I can’t help you cause I have no idea. I think the so called “pros” would [like to] help you more if you didn’t clickbait :thinking:

pretty sure wait() doesn’t wait for EXACTLY the amount of time ( sometimes it does ) but it normally waits for a little longer or doesn’t or something

also, if you just searched up ‘music zone tutorial’ on youtube (as I once did) you could find a pretty great music zone script.

Hello,
That’s not even the point of my problem
I don’t care if it’s a few milliseconds off what I do care about is that it’s 12 seconds off

script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition>=((script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength-script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition) * script.Parent.ambience.PlaybackSpeed)-0.5

This part will always stop halfway.
TimePos >= (TimeLength - TimePos)-.5 is TimePos>= TimeLength /2 - .25

Hello,
Why

repeat game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Wait() until script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition>=script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength * script.Parent.ambience.PlaybackSpeed - 0.5
print(tostring(script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength).." and "..tostring(script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition))
game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(script.Parent.ambience,TweenInfo.new(.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad),{Volume = 0}):Play() 
if script.Parent.ambience.TimePosition < script.Parent.ambience.TimeLength then
	script.Parent.ambience.Ended:Wait()
end

Replace the code from line 43 with this. It might fix it

Hello,
Very well I will test it later

thats what i said. it doesn’t wait for exactly that amount of time. its usually a few seconds (sometimes 10+) off.
