class_name Sfx extends RefCounted # Forgejo #146: the three things that happen to something and should be # heard - a shot leaving a gun, a vessel dying, a structure coming down. # # The sounds themselves are synthesised (see audio/make_sfx.py) rather than # downloaded. The ticket asked for free sources and the good ones are in its # comments, but a generated sound has no licence to track, no attribution to # keep, and no binary in the repository whose provenance nobody can check # later. Swapping in a file from one of those packs is a matter of replacing # the .wav - nothing here knows or cares which it is. # # Parented to the tree root for the same reason Music is: a sound started by # something that is about to be freed - which is every one of these, a dying # ship being the obvious case - cannot live on the thing that started it. # # A POOL rather than one player, because these overlap constantly: a fleet # firing is several shots inside one shot's length. The oldest is recycled # when they are all busy, which is the right thing to lose. const NODE_NAME: String = "SfxPlayers" const VOICES: int = 12 const SHOT: String = "shot" const SHIP_DEATH: String = "ship_death" const ENEMY_DEATH: String = "enemy_death" const BUILDING_DEATH: String = "building_death" const DIALOG: String = "dialog" const BOSS_SCREAM: String = "boss_scream" # #210, #213, #214, #208. const PICKUP: String = "pickup" const ASTEROID_BREAK: String = "asteroid_break" const GAS_BLAST: String = "gas_blast" const BLACK_HOLE: String = "black_hole" const SOUNDS: Dictionary = { SHOT: "res://audio/sfx_shot.wav", SHIP_DEATH: "res://audio/sfx_ship_death.wav", ENEMY_DEATH: "res://audio/sfx_ship_death.wav", BUILDING_DEATH: "res://audio/sfx_building_death.wav", DIALOG: "res://audio/sfx_dialog.wav", BOSS_SCREAM: "res://audio/sfx_boss_scream.wav", PICKUP: "res://audio/sfx_pickup.wav", ASTEROID_BREAK: "res://audio/sfx_asteroid_break.wav", GAS_BLAST: "res://audio/sfx_gas_blast.wav", BLACK_HOLE: "res://audio/sfx_black_hole.wav", } # Per-sound level.
