Creatures and Attack sounds

Attack Sound

For humanoid and creatures we consider that they can use melee or switch weapons. In the Combat_Montage of our player character, we have the attack animation. In the attack animation segment we have one events (Notify) at the start of type PSAnimNotifyAttackSound

In psAttack::Attack() we create a soundID with this rule:

if the weapon is melee then use the race: <race>-4

otherwise use the weapon skill id: "w-" + <weapon skill>

Example: Stonehammer hitting with a Fist = 0-4

Example: Stonehammer hitting with a sword = w-0

this soundID is then sent to all clients this way: we call BroadcastAttackAnimation() to send it to all players in range, and then we call ReceiveAttackAnimation() on clients BP, this is then calling PlayPSAnimMontage()

Inside PlayPSAnimMontage() we use the soundid

The class used is UPSAnimNotifyAttackSound

Hit sound

When someone is hit.

in psAttack::AffectTarget() we create a soundID <Weapon Type> + "-" + <Material>

Material is defined in Race infoTable.skintype

this soundID is then sent to all clients this way: we call BroacastCombatResult() to send it to all players in range, and then we call ReceiveCombatResult() on clients BP, this is then calling PlayPSAnimMontage()

In the Combat_Montage of the hit creature , example the trepor, we have one in the Hit animation of type PSAnimNotifyCombatResultSound

The class used is UPSAnimNotifyCombatResultSound

Death Sound

If we want to have a sound when the creature dies, we have it in the Death Montage, on the death animation
