I need an actor to play a component sound once. How do I do that?

You can call the function PlaySound2D from the UGameplayStatics library to play a 2D (UI) sound. If you need it to play at a 3D position you can also use AudioComponents, which support more advanced methods of playing audio.

There are various ways, inside the Actor BP, right click search for Play Sound, there are options: Play Sound 2D, Play Sound at Location etc. Create an event or input key and attach to that selected node.

Turns out I goofed. I was trying to play the the sound in conjunction to the actor being destroyed. But destroying the actor stops the component sound from playing.

So I had to delay the destruction to give tome for the sound to play.
