Playmaker Integration

When Event Sounds doesn't do exactly what you need, and you're not a coder, you can use Playmaker to hook up game logic to Master Audio. We include the optional MA_PlaymakerActionsAndScene package so that you don't have to write any code to integrate with Playmaker. There are 55 Custom Actions included (found under the Master Audio category when browsing for Custom Actions in Playmaker). These should cover every method you would need to call manually. Also included is a *very* simple scene with a PlaySound FSM set up. The Custom Actions are explained here by category. Click on the links below to read more about each.
