Hey Everyone! I’m switching from unity’s main System to Fmods new Audio system for the 1st time! And I’m trying to implement audio for my player. My player has 1 audio source in which I intend to play different weapon sounds (pistol, rifle, shotgun etc) based on which weapon the player is holding. Though when I play 1 rifle sound and then try to switch that sound event to for instance pistol, it won’t work and still plays the rifle. How can I tell Unity which audio to play and how to do make 1 Studio Event Emitter play different audio types such as rifle, shotgun etc depending on which gun the player is holding? ---

Hi! The most simple way is probably by using a parameter which will handle the weapon type. Haven’t you tried that? ---

Is there a possible guide I can check out on how that would work? I only see things where you fade audio with the parameter but not sure how to combine that for like 10 weapons or more? Can I swap easily with that system? EDIT: It also needs to be able to be a different value for different objects, so if Player 1 uses a rifle and Player 2 uses a pistol, both audio should be according to the weapon. ---

Open the Exemples project, then open Character/Player Footsteps event. Play the event while changing the “Surface” parameter value. I guess you need something equivalent to that, with “Weapon” instead, isn’t it? Instead of a timeline sheet, this event uses a parameter sheet (that you can create with the “+” tab). So that each instance have a different parameter value, the parameter should be set to “Local” (but it’s the default setting). ---

When I try to set the parameters so, a double value plays. Do you have any idea what could cause that? More explained here if you don’t mind checking 🙂 > [@FMOD Label parameter plays previous and current value?](https://qa.fmod.com/t/fmod-label-parameter-plays-previous-and-current-value/16888): > > When I try to play audio type 1 in unity, type 0 is also played, and type 1. So you hear both play at the same time through one event emitter. This is my fmod. This is my code [image] How do I get it so that only the correct weapon shoots instead of the ones before in the array range? So instead of sound 0 and 1 playing, just play sound 1 and ignore sound 0 because the value is on sound 1? P.S In the inspector everything works fine, if I play 1 I only hear the rifle, but in the g…
