Summary

I have an audio manager verse script that has an audio_player_device added as an editable. The script is simple and should play the sound when the function is called. CueAudioDevice.Play() But I don’t hear a sound from my audio device.

I know the player is working bucause I can add an on trigger event with a button to the audio players “Play” Function and every time I interact with the button the sound works

It seems to be broken when trying to trigger audio in a verse script used as a NPC behavior override

Okay, It seems to actually be broken in the NPC Behavior verse script when you are already playing an animation sequence the audio player can’t play a sound.

Use case I’m trying to accomplish. my verse script triggers an attack animation. in this case swipe of hands, Then in the middle of that I check if the player is within distance and if so I remove health and play a “hurt” sound cue using my audio player. If I disable the line of code that plays the animation and just check if the user is in distance the sound will play. So something with the animation breaks the sound cue in the audio player.

Looks like a bug?
