Hi guys, I recently came across an issue with my overriding snapshot zone. I’ve set it up so that the play event is on trigger enter and the stop event is on trigger exit. The collision tag is correct and attached to the object - but upon startup of the game, the snapshot zones are triggered autom…

Thanks for your help, going through those steps identified the issue might of been Unity. Just found out the issue is Unity and has to do with a rigid body on my hand controller that floats around once the game starts and hits the snapshot zone in its course of direction. It can only be seen when th…

This sounds as if an instance of the snapshot is being triggered by something other than the snapshot zone. Do any of the events in your FMOD Studio project contain snapshot instruments?

Hey, I’ve got my snapshots as sends to the group I want it to trigger, they only contain 2 events in group “x” and I’ve done a send on the group for my snapshot effects so when collision occurs volume reaches 0dB. And I also checked those 2 events and there was no sign of a misplace snapshot instr…

What do you mean by “snapshots as sends to the group I want it to trigger”? Could you share some screenshots?

Yeah sure, ive uploaded on imgur but also sent it here too if you see the comment above :slight_smile: , otherwise I’ve uploaded them on Reverb send activated - Album on Imgur

First of all, did you try to trigger the snapshot within fmod, while playing the event at the same time? You can also drag/drop the event and the snapshot in a scene of the sandbox, and toggle the play button of both. Does it do what you expect?

My apologies im not sure i understand, could you explain the process and i can check this out… Thanks

Ok, so without the snapshot, nothing is sent to the effect return, when the snapshot is playing the group is sending its signal to the effect return. That seems correct. As Joseph said, did you check if your snapshot is referenced somewhere you wouldn’t expect? Also, with Live Update, you could che…

You can’t “play a group”. You can only play events, or snapshots. If you click on the snapshot in the list, the play button will appear.

Click both play buttons and check if it sounds as you expect.
