FMOD for Unreal, Occlusion returns only 0 or 1, is no intermediate values is expected behaviour?

Hi,

Thank you for sharing the information!

@JoeChip

Is this the intended design of FMOD for Unreal occlusion (single line trace → 0 or 1)?
Or should the FMOD integration provide continuous occlusion values by default?

Yes, the behaviour you are seeing (the parameter switching only between 0 and 1) is the intended design of the current FMOD Unreal plugin.

@JoeChip

I want to confirm whether the plugin is working correctly, or if continuous occlusion requires implementing a custom solution (e.g., multiple raycasts and setting the parameter manually).

Your setup sounds correct to me.

If you require continuous occlusion values, you might need to implement a custom solution on the Unreal side.

For sound design ideas on enhancing the perception of occlusion, this related post may offer some general ideas: How to create illusion of source occlusion with reverb

Hope this helps!
