Gear Change Sound (for Vehicles)

Custom Gear Change Sounds

Overview

ModelExtras allows you to incorporate custom gear-changing sounds into your model. To enable this feature, you need to add a specific dummy to your model and ensure the correct directory structure for the sound files. Follow the steps below for seamless integration.

Dummy Setup

1. Dummy Naming:
   • Add a dummy to your model with the name x_gs_<sound_name_without_extension>.
   • Replace <sound_name_without_extension> with the actual name of your gear-changing sound file without the extension.

Sound File Directory

1. Create Directory:

   • Establish a directory structure within your project named ModelExtras\audio.
   • Place your custom gear-changing sound file in this directory, ensuring it is in the .wav format.

   Project Root
   ├── ModelExtras
   │   └── audio
   │       └── your_sound_file.wav
   

Example

Suppose you want to associate a custom gear-changing sound named engine_shift.wav with your model.

1. Add a dummy to your model named x_gs_engine_shift.

2. Create a directory structure:

   Game Root
   ├── ModelExtras
   │   └── audio
   │       └── engine_shift.wav
   

By following these steps, you enable ModelExtras to play the specified custom gear-changing sound (engine_shift.wav) when triggered by the associated dummy (x_gs_engine_shift). This enhances the audio experience associated with gear changes in your model.
