Hi. I have a problem with some simple functionality.
VR project.
I have a sword. When I move the sword fast, I want a fast “swish” sound to play only
When I move it slow, I want a slow “swish” sound to play only.
I have made an event. Set it to persistent. Made 2 multi instruments. One fast swish and one slow swish
I get the parameter “speed” of the sound emitter (built in in fmod).
I then set the instruments up on the “speed” parameter.
When I test the game, I get 2 distinct swishes, but if I go fast, I get the fast swish sound, but afterwards I always get the slow swish sound as well. The reason is that I always end up with a slow speed (because I am stopping the swish movement/speed with my controllers).
How would I solve this, so if I have the fast swish sound playing, I wont hear the slow swish sound?
I want to make this a higher resolution solution (with not only fast/slow, but more values in between).
I’m afraid there is no easy way to implement the behavior you describe purely in FMOD Studio. There is simply no perfectly-reliable way to use a speed built-in parameter to both detect when to play a sound and to use a speed built-in parameter to decide which asset to play, while ensuring that the asset associated with the fastest speed in a given acceleration-and-deceleration period takes priority, when you are not able to predict or control the event instance’s rate of acceleration and deceleration.
You are going to have to write code that checks or predicts the highest in-game speed of the sword’s movement each swing and determines which event to play based on that information, or something similar.
