Sound spacing.

[Full Bleed]

So as I implement sounds I'm running into some timing issues.

For example, to have an attack chain go something like this:

Dice roll sound > hit/miss sound > result sound they all trigger one after the other and it seems like I'll need to edit the audio files to add padding or play an empty audio file between them.

Is there an easier way to do this?

There's a discussion here on how to add delays to macros: http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?t=21575

There have been talks of letting the delay parameter of `execLink` and `execFunction` be an integer representing a wait time, but nothing has been implemented yet.

Wolph's delay function helps...

What about having a delay inside the playStream/Clip?

Would love to have a fade-in/out there, too.

Wiki: stopSound() has fade out.

That doesn't help to fade in and out of something like a clip/splice of a song. You have to actively be listening to something and then stopSound at a particular point to get the fade out. Glad that's available, but that kind of active micro-management of sounds isn't what I'm focused on implementing in my framework.

playStream allows us to set up playing a splice of a larger sound file which is really nice when you want to add some flavor (like in a football game)... but it can be really jarring when you can't fade in and out of said splices.

I think it would be desirable to add "fade in", fade out", and "delay" parameters to playStream.

LOL - been going through recent old threads (trying not to truly necro anything!) seeing if anyone has issues JUH can address, and I saw the post and was like "I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU!!!" - and then I realized it was you and you already know all about JUH

I'll post the relevant video tutorials anyways, for others scouring the forums for answers:
