Ambient Audioi

Implementing Audio Systems in Unreal

• Audio Component Setup

• Player Controller

  • Create BP_PlayerController_Coursera
  • Add audio component in details

    Set sound to background queue “Auto plays ambient sound on game start”

• Sound Cues

• Fire Queue Example

  • Place near relevant objects (oven)
  • “Volume changes based on player distance”
  • Creates ambient experience

• Music Change System

• Interface Creation

  • Make Interface_PlayerController_Coursera
  • Implement in player controller

• Music Transition Logic

  • Fade out (1s duration)
  • Set new sound
  • Fade in (1s)
  • “Track current vs new music”

• Music Changer Actor

• Core Components

  • Box collision (500x500x500)
  • Custom collision: overlap pawn only

• Implementation

  • Cast overlap to character
  • Get controller
  • Use music change interface
  • “Instance editable music variable”

• Optimization

• Added Features

  • 1s delay between fades
  • Check if music is different
  • “Duplicate changers at temple entrances”
  • Set different music for in/out of temple

Audio implementation creates immersion through ambient sounds and dynamic music transitions. The system uses distance-based volume and zone triggers to seamlessly change audio based on player location.
