Fading a sample out

[FormerTGFGuy]

Is there a way to make a specific sample of music that is looping fade out, say when the player loses a life, i.e. his energy = 0? I want it to fade out over a 2 second time period. I tried resetting the timer to 0 upon losing a life, and then reducing the sample's volume gradually from 100 down to 0 over that interval every 20/100 of a second. But it doesn't work, the volume stays the same.

It works for me by setting the volume of a sample Always to a variable. Then just add and subtract the variable in Timer intervals as you are doing. If you link different samples to different variables, you can have samples fade in while others fade out, etc.

You can also try the Onu object, which has actions for fading samples over time.
