Make effect Prefabs
Create a set of Prefabs for each sound effect. Making these into Prefabs will allow you to easily re-use these effects. Do this by adding the Play Sound Effect script to the Prefab and adding however many clips you like. The player will randomly choose a sound from this list when it plays.
Attach effect Prefabs to the Equippable
Attach these Prefabs as children of the Equippable.
Connect events to the effects
Now we want to wire up the Equippable so that various events can trigger these sounds. Most Motive components have a set of events that you can attach to.
Picking Up
Connect the Grabbable “On Grab Begin Event”
Equip/Unequip
Connect to the Equippable “On User Equip” and “On User Unequip” events. (Note that this is slightly different from “On Equip”--”On User Equip” only fires when the user takes an action to equip as opposed to the item being equipped automatically by a Script.)
Drop
To handle effects when an item hits the ground, you’ll need to add a Collision Event Hanlder script to the object. This component fires events when the object processes a collision. Set a threshold so that the sound effect only plays when the collision has a certain force (otherwise you will notice any disturbance causes the event to fire). Attach to the “Collision Enter” event.
