Volume/pitch control for client pawns.

eldany.uy · February 22, 2024, 6:52pm

I have a CAR pawn with a few UAudiocomponents:

I want to control the engine pitch and ambience sound pitch and volume related
with the speed of the car.

Thing is that it’s working on the server-client only and not in the client side.
I am using a timer inside the pawn defined in BeginPlay():

	GetWorldTimerManager().SetTimer(enginSoundHandle,this,&ACar_CPP::myEngineSound,.1f,true);

implementation:

void ACar_CPP::myEngineSound()
{
	float newPitchMult = UKismetMathLibrary::MapRangeClamped(
		ChaosMovementComponent->GetEngineRotationSpeed(),1200.f,4000.f,.5f,1.5f);

	if (myCarEngineSound) myCarEngineSound->SetPitchMultiplier(newPitchMult);

	if (mySfxAmbience)
	{
		const float  newVolMult = UKismetMathLibrary::MapRangeClamped(
		getForwardSpeed(),800.f,3000.f,0.f,1.f);
		newPitchMult = UKismetMathLibrary::MapRangeClamped(
		getForwardSpeed(),800.f,3000.f,.5f,1.f);
		mySfxAmbience->SetVolumeMultiplier(newVolMult);
		mySfxAmbience->SetPitchMultiplier(newPitchMult);
	}
}

I repeat. works perfect on the player that runs the server only.
Volume and pitch changes are not happening on the client-only players.

Any help?
Thanks!
