Sound¶

Class for playing in-game 2D and 3D sounds.

Note

This is a Client only Class.

Note

It is not possible (yet?) to load custom sound files (.mp3, .wav…), the sounds must be pre-cooked in Unreal before used.

Usage¶

local MySound = Sound(
    Vector(-510, 145, 63), -- Location (if a 3D sound)
    "NanosWorld::A_VR_Confirm", -- Asset Path
    false, -- Is 2D Sound
    true, -- Auto Destroy (if to destroy after finished playing)
    0, -- Sound Type (SFX)
    1, -- Volume
    1 -- Pitch
)
