Play

Introduction

The Play method can be used to play a SoundEffect, optionally specifying the volume to play at. The Play method performs the following additional logic:

• It only plays the SoundEffect if AreSoundEffectsEnabled is true.

• It checks if the SoundEffect has already been played this frame, preventing the same SoundEffect from playing twice in one frame. This behavior depends on the value of SoundEffectPlayingBehavior.

• It increments NumberOfSoundEffectPlays which can be used to measure how many times sound effects have played.

• It checks if the argument SoundEffect has been disposed (debug only) and throws an informative exception if so.

Code Examples

The following assumes that Explosion is a SoundEffect. This can be created by adding a .wav file to Glue.

AudioManager.Play(Explosion);

Sounds can be played with a custom volume:

// Values are 0 - 1, so .5 is 50%
float volume = .5f;
AudioManager.Play(EngineNoise, volume);
