Salsa Suite basic question

Post by nathanj »

Hi Tony,

I'm trying to get the Salsa integration working but for some reason the audio is not being played through the NPCs audio source.

I have a Salsa component on my NPC and the audio source is connected to the appropriate field on it.

However, when I run SALSA(NameOfAudioFileInResourceFolder) from a dialogue node the audio is player but not from the audio source on the NPC. I don't know where it's being generated. And, most importantly, their lips aren't moving.

Any idea of why this would be?

Thank you
Nathan

Edit,

Ok, my bad. The audio source needs to be on the root of the npc now. It used to be a child.

Allo good,

Thanks again!

If that requirement is a problem, let me know. I could look into the possibility of supporting child objects.

p.s. - I haven't forgotten about the Behavior Designer integration update. Things have just been a little busy with Unity's Spring Sale, so it's taking longer that I had hoped.

Thanks, Tony

No, it's not a problem, just a slight change in how things work. All good now!

And no worries about the BD integration stuff. I have so many other things to do it's not even funny ;)

Thanks again,
Nathan

Hi Tony,

Maybe you can mention that the audio source must be on the NPC GameObject in the manual: https://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_ ... salsa.html

I had set an empty GameObject with SALSA and the audio source was on it. It was not a problem when testing with SALSA but it didn't work with Dialogue System. Then I found this useful post and moved the audio source from my SALSA GO to my NPC GO.
It works ;-) !

Thanks for mentioning it. I'll add a note to the manual.
