Ignore Parent Playback Limit

Determines if the current object and its children are considered part of the parent’s playback limit (unchecked) or defined at this level (checked). If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Default value: false

Limit Sound Instances

The number of sound or motion instances within the same hierarchical structure that can play simultaneously.

Default value: false

Sound Instance Limit

Default value: 50

Range: 1 to 1000

Limitation sound instances to:

The number of sound or motion instances within the same hierarchical structure that can play simultaneously. This limit applies to the selected list option:

Default value: Per game object

When limit is reached:

Determines what happens when the playback limit is reached. You can select one of the following options:

Keep in mind that each entity can override its own behavior so that the virtual behavior of a sound can still be to discard the sound or to continue to play.

Default value: Kill voice

When priority is equal:

Determines what happens when the playback limit is reached and there is more than one object with the lowest priority. You can select one of the following options:

Default value: Discard oldest instance

Override parent

Determines whether the virtual voice settings will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the virtual voice controls are unavailable.

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Default value: false

Virtual voice behavior

Determines the behavior of objects when their volume falls below the volume threshold or when their number goes over the playback limit. You can select one of the following options:

For music objects, if Send to virtual voice or Kill if finite else virtual is selected, the object plays from elapsed time upon return to physical voice.

Default value: Continue to play

On return to physical voice

	Note
	These options are not available for music objects. For Actor-Mixer objects, they are only available if the Virtual voice behavior is set to Send to virtual voice or Kill if finite else virtual.

Determines the behavior of objects that move from the virtual voice list back to the physical voice.

You can select one of the following options:

Default value: Play from elapsed time

Override parent

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Determines whether the Playback Priority will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the Playback Priority controls are unavailable.

Default value: false

Priority

Objects with a priority of 1 have the lowest priority, and those with a priority of 100 have the highest priority.

This value determines which objects will be played when the playback limit has been reached.

The importance given to the object in relation to other objects within the same actor-mixer structure.

Default value: 50

Range: 0 to 100

Use Priority Distance Factor

Default value: false

Offset priority by x at max distance

Specifies a value by which the priority of an object is offset when it reaches the max distance value specified in the Attenuation Editor.

When selected, an offset is applied to the priority of the object when it falls anywhere within the attenuation max distance value. The amount of offset applied will depend on the object’s relative position to the listener.

When this option is not selected, the distance from the listener does not affect the priority of an object.

Default value: -10

Range: -100 to 100
