🔉Sounds

In this page we will cover how the sounds work in the project.

Resources

You can find all sound effects in the Plugins → FPS Animation Pack Content → SFX. There are 2 types of sounds, based on how they are triggered in runtime:

1. Anim Notify-Based

   1. Reloads

   2. Grenade

   3. Movement

2. Gameplay-Triggered

   1. Firing

   2. Aiming

   3. Fire mode switch

Let's see how exactly sounds are implemented using real examples:

AnimNotify_PlaySound

This notify is used to play all animation-based sound effects:

Play Sound notify.

This notify is usually placed at the beginning of the sequence:

Gameplay Sounds

Unlike other effects, firing ones are Sound Cues, which implement randomized pitch, volume as well as the order of sounds:

The fire mode switch is played in the respective method of the weapon blueprint:
