Why is my SFX sound not playing??

PurpleShine

Hi, 

I have updated to AC 1.49. For my previous versions of my game I used to do Engine : Play One shot (as far as I can remember), but for some reason this doesn't work anymore. I can however do this with Sound : Play. For this to work however, I need a sound object in the scene, so I made one and it works but I get this warning message: Attempt to set pitch to a negative Audio value in Audiosource:: Setpitch ignored! If I tick Decompress on load in the soundfile inspector the sound is not playing at all, and I don't get this message so I am not sure why this is. With Sound : Play One-Shot it should work I thought without placing a SoundGameobject from AC but it doesn't, I don't get any sound. Also it says in the manual 1.49 that one should see Engine : Play Sound but this option is not anymore available in AC 1.49, I thought I do just mention that. So... my question is: What is a good way in AC without warning messages etc to just play a simple (without any Soundmixers etc) SFX sound?

What do you mean by Engine: Play sound not being available?  It wasn't removed.

Please post the full error message as it appears in the Console.

Maybe you make my same error, using the Play one shot on a 3d sound.

When I discover it, I hit my head on the desk, lol!

Go on your sound file, mp3 or wave, and in the inspector uncheck 3d sound. It should work now with Play one shot.

@ChrisIceBox The option is there but not under the Engine tab, I cant printscreen it since when I exit the tab it closes again... how silly. So, the option is now Sound: Play etc and not Engine : Play sound. That's what I meant. Using AC  1.49. (In the manual this is still written Engine : Play sound)

@2finger I am basically using the sounds that already worked fine and where without to specify where they come from. The footstep sound has a source (an AC sound object) and the music has but the general sfx I never used a source for and they just worked fine so why they wouldn't work now? I understand what you mean with the 3D sound, that was a problem I use to have long time ago (and I dont think that is the problem) but I first need to know which source the option Sound : Play one-shot uses. @ChrisIceBox Do I need a seperate sound object for every seperate sfx sound?

@ChrisIceBox I just discovered the pitch was too high in the AC sound object, I dont know why but it solved the warning message. So it basically works fine. I still dont understand why it would work before without an AC sound object/source.

Oh yeah. How could I forget about the high pitch. I had the same issue long time ago too.
