Hello!
I’m trying to play a sound from audio_player_device.
I have : (translating fields from french to english, may differ but essentially it is the same)

  • created the audio_player_device
  • set the sound asset to play
  • set “Heard by” to “Everyone”
  • set “Sound location” to “Local player”

In my code, I have class named countdown_timer.
Inside this class, I have a member reference to the audio player device which I manually input from Unreal Editor:

@editable
    var VfoxSoundOne : audio_player_device = audio_player_device{}

Now I have a method PlaySound :

PlaySound() : void =
      VfoxSoundOne.Play()

Then a RunCountdown method which gets called from a countdown_timer_device, in its OnBegin override.

RunCountdown()<suspends> : void =
        loop:
            PlaySound()
            Sleep(TimerTickPeriod)
            set RemainingTime -= TimerTickPeriod
    
            UpdateUI()
    
            # Timer End
            if (RemainingTime <= 0.0):
                if (PlayerUI := MaybePlayerUI?):
                    PlayerUI.RemoveWidget(Canvas)
                break

Basically, I have followed this tutorial but I want to add countdown sound.
After all this, sound is not being played.
Any idea why?
Thank you in advance!

It looks like the PlaySound() function call should be taken out of the loop? Is TimerTickPeriod a short amount of time?
