Change duration of SKAction playSoundFileNamed

How do i change the duration of a created sound created with SKAction.playSoundFileNamed:

var sound = SKAction.playSoundFileNamed("sound.mp3", waitForCompletion: false)

I tried setting sound.duration = 1.0 but with no luck so far ?

Solution

  • In short, that is impossible with SKAction.playSoundFileNamed: method.

    duration property specifies the time in seconds required for current action to complete.

    When using SKAction.playSoundFileNamed: method you don't have control over the audio being played (no pausing, stoping, resuming pitching etc). It's meant to play a sound, nothing more.
