Default character sound to play when speaking?

dojogrant

I will not be having voice over for my game, but am looking to play a sort of Simlish gibberish that would be unique to each character. Is there a way I can set for a default sound to play whenever a specific character speaks? I would prefer to not have to make a separate item in action lists to play that sound every time they talk.

Thanks!

You can assign a "Text scroll audio" for each character, that gets played when speech text is scrolled.

For a more robust approach, however, you can hook into the OnStartSpeech / OnStopSpeech custom events to playback audio based on the character. These events include the speaking character in their parameters, so you can attach a script to a character, check if a speech is being spoken by them, and play audio if so.

For example:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using AC;

public class GibberishExample : MonoBehaviour
{

    public AudioClip gibberish;

    private void OnEnable ()
    {
        EventManager.OnStartSpeech += StartSpeech;
    }

    private void OnDisable ()
    {
        EventManager.OnStartSpeech -= StartSpeech;
    }

    private void StartSpeech (Char speaker, string text, int lineID)
    {
        if (speaker == GetComponent <Char>())
        {
            AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (gibberish, transform.position);
        }
    }

}
