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.

1. Add the Play Sound Effect Script to the Prefab

2. Add as many clips you like. The player will randomly choose a sound from this list when it plays:

Open

Attach Effect Prefabs to the Equippable

1. 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

1. Connect the Grabbable “On Grab Begin Event”:

Equip/Unequip

1. 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 Handler script to the object. This component fires events when the object processes a collision.

1. 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)

2. Attach to the “Collision Enter” event:
