The Play Wave
event causes a wave to commence playback. It also allows the audio designer to specify
that the wave is to be repeated, or specify a list of waves that can be cycled through either
in sequence or at random.
Event Properties
The common set of event properties that specify the event name and hold comments.
Level Variations
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| VolumeVariation | Randomized volume is used when the event is played. |
| PitchVariation | Randomized pitch is used when the event is played. |
| RangeMinimum | Minimum value to set when choosing a random value. |
| RangeMaximum | Maximum value to set when choosing a random value. |
| NewValueOnLoop | Determines whether a new variation should be selected each time the play event loops. |
| OperationToPerform |
How the new setting should behave relative to other parameter settings the track may already have.
|
Play Wave Properties
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| LoopEvent |
Number of times to repeat the wave entry.
|
| LoopCount | Specifies the number of additional times the event should play. For instance, setting the loop count to 1 means the event will play a total of two times. |
| NewVariationOnLoop | When the play event loops, whether to repeat the identical wave or choose a new variation (in wave, pitch, volume, and so on) |
| PlayRelease | For cues that use looping sounds, this setting determines how a sound will be stopped. If set to True, a cue will stop looping and play to the end of the wave. If set to False, the sound will stop immediately. An exception is made in the case of a sound that is looping and has a Release RPC attached. In that case, the sound will fade out as the Release RPC specifies while continuing to loop. |
Speaker Positioning Properties
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| EnableSpeakerPositioning |
Determines whether to position the speaker at a random location around the user (true) or to use authored speaker assignment properties (false). |
| UseCenterSpeaker | Determines whether the center speaker is used for positioning. |
| SpeakerPositionAngle | Angle used for speaker positioning, in degrees:
|
| SpeakerPositionArcSize | For a random speaker position, the size of the arc that will contain the position. |
| NewPositionOnLoop | When the play event loops, whether to pick a new pick a new position, or keep using the same position. |
Timing Properties
The common set of timing properties that hold relative time information for playback and repeats.
