Playing sound in montage vs on notify

Development Programming & Scripting

Hey everyone,

I am currently using the play sound notify in my montages and noticed they sound like the play sound 2D, but actually I want them to play more like the play sound at location.

So is there anyway to do that inside the montage or is adding a montage notify and playing the sound at location on notify inside the blueprint?

Hi, you probably already figured this one out but:

Short explanation: yes, you must spawn it inside the blueprint.

Long explanation:

  1. If you want a Sound to play at a specific location, you must use “Spawn Sound at Location” or “Play Sound at Location”, and that must be done outside of the montage - in the Event Graph.

Note: Don’t forget that the location must be ‘something’. If you leave it at 0, 0, 0, it will play at the world origin (the 0,0,0 coordinates), and also don’t forget to add “Attenuation Settings”, or else the sound will play pretty much everywhere.

Cheers
