Equal randomization for sound objects

Question

For my shooting system I created a simple set of sound objects for every gun:

1. Loop
2. Lastshot

In game, we trigger loop Play-event and then it's time to stop shooting, we trigger corresponding Stop-event to stop the loop sound and then play lastshot sound.

Now I want to add some pitch randomization to that loops, but I can't found a simple way to set the same pitch (randomized every time the shooting starts) for their lashots. 

What is the most optimal way to do so?

 

Answer 1

Have the following hierarchy:

• Actor-Mixer object
  • Loop
  • LastShot

 

In your Play-event,

• Add a Set Pitch Action at the beginning, on the Actor-Mixer object
• Set the Randomizer on the Set Pitch Action value
• Play Loop

In you Stop:

• Stop Loop
• Play LastShot

This way the set pitch random will be executed once per play event, and will be applied to both sounds.

Comments

I set Pitch randomizer in "Play" action, but lastshot still sounds without pitch shifting at all. Of course, we trigger both sounds on the same Game Object. Looks like Set Pitch Action in our case works for one particular sound object (loop), but not for Game object (loop + lastshot).
