nw::snd::SoundActor Class

class SoundActor : public nw::snd::SoundStartable

A class used to play back and manage multiple sounds together.

A sound actor is expected to be used in association with an in-game character or model. For example, one possible usage is to change the sound orientation of the sound actor associated with a character to match that character's movements.

The parameters set for a sound actor affect all sounds that the actor is playing.

Internally, a sound actor has four actor players. It is possible to limit the number of sounds that can be simultaneously played by each actor player. If the configured sound count is exceeded, the player priorities set for each sound are compared and the sounds with the lowest priority are stopped. The default values for the number of sounds that can be played back simultaneously are defined as follows.

• Actor player #0 is unlimited.
• Everything else is set to 1.

The actor player in which to play a sound is set in the sound data. This information can be overwritten at playback time by using nw::snd::SoundStartable::StartInfo.
