Playing VOs?

[Roland_Price]

Good day, everyone

How can I play VOs attached to the dialogue fragment as in VO helper video? All I can find is a "Load as audio" node and that's it. I can't get an actual wave reference from it

Thank you for your answers

I haven't tried it myself yet but this should bring you closer to resolving this task:

1. In content browser create a MediaPlayer asset:


2. In your Actor (preferably PlayerController) create a MediaSound component.

3. In the Details panel of the MediaSound component find the Media section and use the created MediaPlayer asset to set the Media Player variable:


4. Load the VO asset from articy and play:


Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answer!

But I'm afraid that's all I have in the menu and no Media player asset can be created (

The content browser is located at the bottom. If you can't see it go to menu: Window->Content Browser->Content Browser 1. Then just right click an empty space or click Add New button and you should be able to create the MediaPlayer asset.

I meant that there's no such point in the menu, please see attached picture

It looks like you have the Media Player plugin disabled. Head to Settings->Plugins and enable the Media Player Editor plugin.

Thanks a lot, forgot that I've disabled it for testing purposes. Nevertheless this is not working so far, trying to figure out why. Also media player does not look like a production solution, more like proof of concept. Maybe Nevigo has some plans for a proper wave playing implementation?

This print string always returns false. Should it be this way?

No, check if your Load as Audio return value is valid. Make sure that you've passed correct technical name to GetObjectByName.

No to the first one and yes to the second one
