Thank you so much! OMG, I was so confused as to why it was like that cos it had other stuff with it. Lmao. Thanks! :raised_hands:

Bump da dadadaaaaaaaaaaaa

If I want one sound to fade and then the next sound is going to start, how do I write it because I keep getting an error saying: Volume command needs KIND, VOLUME and DURATION arguments, got: 0 3000.

And I’m my script it looks like this:
volume 0 3000
&pause for 0.3
volume music 50 3000
music music_latinguitarpop

So what am I doing wrong? Help please:heart:

volume music 0 3000
&pause for 0.3
music music_latinguitarpop
volume music 50 3000

aaah lmao, thanks! :joy:

But the music still doesn’t fade it just changes into the next music immediately?

Since you have the volume fading out in 3 seconds, you need to pause for 3 seconds.

volume music 0 3000
@pause for 3
volume music 50 3000
music music_latinguitarpop

It worked thank you!!

Bump!

Can we import our own sounds?

No.

I just started making my first story and I’m very confused with how to add sound. Every time I try to preview it it gives me an error message. This is what the script looks like… Thank you in advance!!

sound alarmclock_beep
volume sound 85 1000
