Pointer Event Audio Player

The IsdkPointerEventAudioPlayer provides functionality for playing sounds in response to the various states of an interaction. You can play sounds for hover, unhover, select, unselect, etc. without the need to manually set up all of the logic to handle those events and play the sounds.

The IsdkPointerEventAudioPlayer references the interactable component, Pointable, in an interactable object and registers itself to receive broadcasts of interaction events for that interactable component. When an interactor interacts with the interactable, the IsdkPointerEventAudioPlayer receives a notification and plays the sound corresponding to the new state of the interactable.

The Pointable, or interactable component, for the audio player to listen for interaction events on is set using the SetPointable() function. In general, you will set this at BeginPlay, but it can be set at any time during play depending on your use case.

The IsdkPointerEventAudioPlayer uses AudioComponents to determine the sounds to play.

To configure the sounds to play for an interactable object, you must add an AudioComponent to the interactable object for each state you want to play a sound for. Use the Set*Audio() functions to assign the AudioComponents to the IsdkPointerEventAudioPlayer during BeginPlay.
