This tutorial shows how to playback and how to script sounds inside a virtual space. We will use the Wav and Mp3 sounds files included in the following sound folder. Please note that wav files will be used for looping a short and repetitive sound for example the rain. The mp3 compression allows to play longer sound files for example a song or background music.

A basic sound file can be saved in your Resource folder and imported into Virtools by drag and drop like the other assets. The sound file is placed in Level Manager > sound > Rain.wav. Go to Level Manager > sounds > Rain, Right.click on Rain.wav. In the Sound Setup , you can playback the sound, Step 1, or you can tweak Pitch, Gain, Pan, the sound parameters. These parameters are interactive BB in Virtools. Part 1 - Simple 2D Sound Playback In some cases, several flat background sounds or 2D sounds are all what you need. Sound file formats inside the Level Manager > sound folder can be played with the Wave Player BB. Sound from the Wave Player can be looped and turned on and off.
