Overridden from USoundBase

  Type Name Description
Public function Virtual Const TSharedPtr< Audio::IParameterTransmitter > Creates a parameter transmitter for communicating with active sound instances.
Public function Virtual Const const FSoundAttenuationSettings * Returns a pointer to the attenuation settings that are to be applied for this node
Public function Virtual Const float Returns the length of the sound
Public function Virtual Const float Returns the farthest distance at which the sound could be heard
Public function Virtual float  
Public function Virtual bool Returns whether the sound has cooked analysis data (e.g. FFT or envelope following data) and returns sound waves which have cooked data.
Public function Virtual Const float Returns the subtitle priority
Public function Virtual float  
Public function Virtual Const bool  
Public function Virtual Const bool Queries if the sound has cooked FFT or envelope data.
Public function Virtual Const bool Only used as an edit condition for AttenuationSettings member, as base classes may choose to provide an attenuation override implementation
Public function Virtual Const bool Returns whether the sound base is set up in a playable manner
Public function Virtual Const bool Returns true if any of the sounds in the sound have "play when silent" enabled.
Public function Virtual void

Parse ( FAudioDevice* AudioDevice,
const UPTRINT NodeWaveInstanceHash,
FActiveSound& ActiveSound,
const FSoundParseParameters& ParseParams,
TArray< FWaveInstance* >& WaveInstances
)

 Parses the Sound to generate the WaveInstances to play.
