| Volume | Basic volume of the sound. Not recommended to change this. It is better to change the sound preset in the Sound Editor. |
| Sound Filter | Allows you to play the sound through a certain filter. For example, if you choose the "Gasmask" filter, the sound will play as though you're hearing it through a gasmask. Filters:
|
| Sound Bus | Assigns the sound to the chosen sound bus. You can adjust the volume of each sound bus individually using the \engine\volume action. This is useful for when you want to dynamically change the volume of certain sound types over others. |
