Here you will find all instructions needed to set up the Unity and FMOD projects for 2D Game Kit.

General

Setting up FMOD in Unity project

Banks

In a companion FMOD project there are separate banks for SFX, Music/2DAmbience and UI events. It is a small game so it does not need separate banks for each Zone.

FMOD Custom Scripts

FMOD Prefabs

Place these in scene from Prefabs/Audio folder.

• FMODAudioObject
  • Can be used for e.g. localized environmental sounds (landmarks, point-source ambiences) which is constantly playing in a Zone - see Zone01 example with a Dropship
  • It starts as soon as the object is enabled, e.g. when the level starts or when the enabling is done in runtime (e.g. on a parent object)
• FMODMusicAmbience
  • Used for triggering music and 2D ambiences in Zones. This approach assumes using only one music and one ambience event per Zone. FMOD events are triggered when the scene starts.
• FMODLocalParameterCollider

  • Used to change parameters in specific areas of the Zone. E.g. you can dynamically change part of songs in different areas inside a Zone.

  • Can be used to change reverbs too.

  • Colliders work in a way that when the player hits the green box (invisible in game), something gets triggered (in this case a parameter in FMOD, but can be also an event, snapshot, etc.).

  • Adjust the X and Y size of the Box Collider 2D to fit the area you need.

    You may have to toggle the visibility of gizmos in the top right corner of the scene view. This will allow you to see the box collider.
