Hey there,

How do I change the volume of one sound effect?

I have my sounds routed to a fader, but instead of changing the fader volume I want to change the volume of the individual audio files.

Cheers!

Hi,

Here are a few ways you can do it:

1. Adjust the volume in the audio file itself.

2. Specify a different audio source in your Audio()/AudioWait() sequencer command. That audio source can have a different Volume setting or be routed to a different audio mixer group with a lower volume.

3. Write a custom sequencer command -- for example, a subclass of SequencerCommandAudioWait -- in which you can specify the volume to use for the audio clip.

4. Maybe easier: Write a custom sequencer command that sets the volume of an audio source. You can use this before calling Audio()/AudioWait() to set the volume to what you want.

5. Use a third party audio manager such as Master Audio, FMOD, or Wwise, all of which the Dialogue System can integrate with.

Thanks for all your help Tony!!!

Glad to help!
