Collision SFX

[ac-arcana]

For objects that can be carried, I would like impact sounds when they hit something. This could have its volume adjusted based on velocity as well. Perhaps it could be a component we can attach to colliders. Thoughts on a system like this?

Yeah, was thinking of something like this as well, though it's currently low prio.

I have a Unity Engine asset that has a script for exactly this type of thing that works well.
Gonna take a look at it and see if I can turn it into a GDscript / component for Cogito. Would probably make it generic to just use for RigidBodies.

Okay, I've added a simple component that does this in this commit: ebbc5b5

I've added this to the HealthPotions to demonstrate.

ImpactSounds (tscn/gd):
This uses a AudioStreamPlayer3D and a AudioStreamRandomizer to play sounds whenever a RigidBody3D collides.
For it to work, the RigidBody3D needs to have contact monitoring enabled and the number of max contacts reported needs to be greater than 0.
There's also an exported next_impact_time property which is used to force a delay between sounds as well as to not play any sounds right on ready, though this should be tweaked as desired.

Awesome!

Closing this.
