A Beginners Guide to Sounds

This guide assumes you've already created a sound event or imported a sound.

Adjustable Properties

In the inspector, you can adjust values like volume, pitch, and decibels. If your sound is supposed to be a screen sound, you will also need to select the UI option.

From here, you can also upload the sound to asset.party.

Saving this file via ctrl + s or clicking on Full Recompile will compile both the source sound and the sound event.

Looping Sounds

For looping sounds you will have to either:

• Place loop markers inside your sound file
• Left-click the source sound in the assets browser and select the loop checkbox in the inspector. This will only work with .wav and .mp3 files.

Playing a Sound from UI

You can play sound events from Panel code with Panel.PlaySound or using css properties sound-in and sound-out

Playing a Sound from the World

You can play sound events from GameObject or Component code with Sound.Play, this will give you a SoundHandle you can modify. Additionally you can use RPCs to broadcast sounds in multiplayer.
