Hello everyone, me and my sound designer are wondering what the reason is that >sometimes< the sound effect he produced isn’t in sync with moving actors I created, such as platforms. My setup is this (roughly broken down): → New BP actor → Add static mesh of choice → On Event Begin Play → Add …

As a matter of fact “spawn sound attached” (put right before the timeline) also goes out of sync. It goes out of sync so hard I can listen to it live shifting away while my previous method kept the out of sync steady :smiley: However, I did some brainstorming and went through all my existing bluepr…

You have to trigger the sounds from the timeline, otherwise it will never sync up. Not on then ‘update’ pin, but before you go into the timeline.

“You have to trigger the sounds from the timeline” Could you please get me a practical/visual example of that?

Ok, then I understood what you were saying so far, but let’s clarify something else for now first: As mentioned I have the sound as audio compomenent added in the components list and since I am using the same blueprint for multiple different moving actors (give them a number through an editable int…

It’s a bit of a strange way of doing things :slight_smile: Most people would just play a wav there. You still get to configure which wav.

Yes yes, specifying which wav (or in my case cue) to play isn’t a difficult thing of course :smiley: So I should not use “activate” on audio components and go with “play sound at location” instead? If yes, how would I ensure that the sound is always with the static mesh, no matter where it is curre…

Spawn sound at location, gives you a pin :wink: Even if you use a component, you can spawn the sound it plays ( I believe ), and it will move with the object.
