Using Unity 2021.3.20f1 and FMOD 2.02.13. I have several mini dialogue events that correspond with player interactions in my game (eg, player picks up a key and says, “Found it!”) The problem I’m running into is that if multiple interactions happen within a short period of each other, there is a bit…

Hi, I had the same issue and build a component to handle this. What it does is that it keeps track of the last event it plays and it gives you the means to define what should happen when you start another one while it is still playing. I call that the concurrency strategy. It can abort the current…

You are trying to implement all the things that my script is supposed to do for you :slight_smile: Your script needs two public fields. One that references the NarratorController and one of type EventReference. Then instead of doing RuntimeManager.PlayOneShot you call NarratorController.Play() As…

Sorry - like I said, total newb, lol! (I started teaching myself all of this in February, so they don’t come much greener than me, lol!) So at the start of the class, I would put something along the lines of: public GameObject ConcurrencyManagerOB; public FMOD.Studio.EventInstance dialogueCues; T…

Not quite. You don’t call PlayOneShot yourself. That happens in the narrator controller. Your class would look something like this // assign these fields in the inspector public EventReference dialogueCue; public NarratorController narratorController; private IEnumerator PlaySoundDelayedCoroutine…

Got it! Cheers, that’s a really useful tool to have on hand!

Follow up question: if I need to pause one of these event references (e.g., if the player activates the pause menu in the middle of the audio clip), how would you go about that? For most other events using EventInstance, I use the code: “if (pauseMenuOn) narrationInstance.setPaused(true);” but tha…

EventInstance does have a setPaused() function. General (somewhat patronizing) advice: you will need a code editor that offers you code completion so you can quickly find what methods an object offers. Also you will have to get used to reading documentation. You won’t be able to get answers through…

I have the same problem using the code provided by FMOD. Is it possible to implement your code on the example provided by FMOD?: sing System; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; class ScriptUsageProgrammerSounds : MonoBehaviour { FMOD.Stud…
