FMOD integration how to check if audio finished

[Saper]

Hi Tony

I want to check if audio was finished. To play audio i use sequence: FMODWait(AudioName, EventProgramerIntrument);

Hi,

You can use regular sequencer messages. For example, to play two FMOD events one after the other:

Code: Select all

FMODWait(firstEvent)->Message(FirstDone);
FMODWait(secondEvent)@Message(FirstDone)

Or to activate GameObject when the FMOD event is done:

Code: Select all

FMODWait(firstEvent)->Message(Done);
SetActive(SomeGameObject)@Message(Done)

Hi Tony

Is there a posibility to setup something outside dialogue system outside SetActive object?

[Tony Li]

Sure, you can do anything. That was just an example to demonstrate how to know when FMODWait() is done. What do you want to do?

Hi Tony

I want to change variable in one of ours classes

[Tony Li]

Hi,

If you write a C# method to access your variables, you can register it with Lua to call that method in your conversations.

After I register my metod, sequence should looks like this?:

Code: Select all

FMODWait(firstEvent)->Message(Done);
MyMetod() @Message(Done)

Hi,

If you want to change a variable from within a sequence, don't register your C# method with Lua. (In other words, don't use the instructions I provided in the link above.) Instead, write a custom sequencer command.

Use Lua functions in Conditions and Script fields. Use sequencer commands in Sequence fields.

Example sequencer command:

Code: Select all

public class SequencerCommandMyMethod : SequencerCommand
{
    void Awake()
    {
        MyClass.Instance.Variable = GetParameterAsInt(0);
        Stop();
    }
}

Example use:

Code: Select all

FMODWait(firstEvent)->Message(Done);
MyMethod(42)@Message(Done)

Hi Tony

Our class is on object, and before the FMOD we used "OnSequenceEnd" for check "if audio finished", with FMOD this don't work by using "OnSequenceEnd" it almost at start set the var to true

[Tony Li]

Hi,

If the sequence uses FMODWait(), it should wait until the FMOD event is done before sending the OnSequenceEnd message.

Maybe some other sequence (e.g., some other dialogue entry) is sending OnSequenceEnd.

Can you use the "->Message(Done)" syntax I suggested above?
