The group tab lets you define collections of clips from the library into a container that can be called by the audio manager. This can be used to play a random clip from a group, like footsteps or clicks, a sequence of clips one after the other or a group of clips at the same time.
The left side holds all the groups you have defined already with the option to make a new one should you wish.
When a group is selected you’ll be able to see all its properties on the right side
<aside> ⚠️ Groups MUST have unique names.
</aside>
Defines the name that the group is referred to in the audio manager when calling for the group to play. Can be used in its pure string form or via the group helper struct.
Random (1-Clip) | Plays a single random clip from the group when the group is called to play. |
---|---|
Sequential (All-Clips) | Plays all the clips in the group one after the other when the group is called to play. |
Combined (All-Clips) | Plays all the clips at the same time when the group is called to play. |
You can select a clip by just pressing the add clip button and search for the clip by name. Once you’ve found the clip you want, just select it to apply it to the group.
If you need to remove a entry or change the clip for an entry from the group, you can do so with the edit clip or - buttons on that entry.
The danger zone lets you delete or clear the group data. These options have an extra dialogue prompt to avoid mis-clicks.
