There is an actor message to change a sounds volume, but I do not understand how it works. You can pick stuff like linear, logarithmic and inverse and input a bazillion of values, presented in a 2D graph. Whichever values I try, the sound seems to not change at all and the values do not even seem to be saved; when I open up the actor events again, they are missing.
I just want to change the sound volume by a certain factor (lets say play the sound on 1/2 volume), how can I achieve this using the actor message?
Yea, well, I am aware of that; however, I would like to change the volume while the sound is playing, so I thought this would be most likely to do in the actor.
Well then you already found the Sound Set Volume actor. The UI for editing it is REALLY wonky, if you want to make any changes you have to delete all the entries and start from scratch in order for it to save them. But with a little patience it's possible to edit it and get it to save the changes.
Delete all the entries? I do not see any at all. I just can add values, which then form a kind of graph.
I simply have no idea, what I need to do with this actor message, even if the values are saved correctly. What do these values actually represent? What are the x-and y axis representing? For what I am picking linear, inverse or logarithmic?

The easiest way is to edit the Sound object's Volume field.
