Shoot One, Shoot Two, Shoot Three
Summary
This tutorial demonstrates how to create an object that makes a different sound each time it is shot by a player.
In brief: we will encase a cube with a Trigger of type "TT_Shoot". Then we’ll add a RoundRobin that monitors the Trigger and controls three SpecialEvent actors. Each SpecialEvent plays a different sound, "One," "Two," "Three!"
Instructions
- Create a room
- Add a 64x64 cube somewhere on the floor in the room.
Add a Trigger to the map (see Actor Overview), and place it dead-center inside the cube from Step 2. Set the following properties for the Trigger:
