Hi there!

I’m novice in FMOD and UE, and I’m trying to play sound (event) at specific location. How do I do that by using blueprints? If drag fmod event onto editor in UE it start play when I start the game, but I need only at specific location.

Thank you!!!

Hi,

There are a couple of options:

1. [Play Event Attached](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/blueprint-reference-common.html#play-event-attached) node which allows you to specify a component for the event to follow

2. [Play Event at Location](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/blueprint-reference-common.html#play-event-at-location) node which allows you to specify a location

3. Add an [Audio Component](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/api-reference-ufmodaudiocomponent.html) to the Blueprint then set its world location:

I will also link to our [Blueprint Reference documentation](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/blueprint-reference.html) as it lists all of our Blueprint callable nodes.

Hope this helps!

But you use “Event Begin Play”, but I need to start the game without sounds, and they must be activated for example when I overlapping the cube (SM\_ChamferCube4).

Hi,

This was just an example, any type of event can trigger these nodes.
