Set volume with the tag does work while the sound plays, but it is not permanent.

Hi again, fellow Construct people. I have an annoying volume slider problem.

I am trying to use tags for sounds and volume. Let me simulate:

1) I spawn a giant, and allied_giant_on_field starts playing with the "sfx" tag.

2) I open my menu and lower sfx volume, it works while I decrease slider value.

3) When I close the menu and summon another giant, it plays the sound, even with the SFX slider at zero.

You need to store the current SFX volume in a variable and use that variable when playing new sounds.

I suggest creating an AudioPlay function and calling it whenever you need to play a sound. Inside the function, you can calculate the volume correctly based on the tag and game settings. This also would make it easier to modify the entire sound system later — you won’t have to go through all your individual "Play" actions every time you want to change something, like renaming a tag or adjusting the volume.
