[Mini Guide 🤏 ] How to make a Sound Cue!

Community Made Guides
1

Hello! I am back with ANOTHER guide for everyone! you might have read the title (or not, I don’t judge) and said “Wait? GKC doesn’t have sound effects!” but that’s where you would be VERY wrong, say hello to my best friend, the vending machine :D
basically when you purchase an item from the vending machine device it will make a sound! and we can automatically purchase something! ready to learn how to do this? Well I am :3

Materials

Vending machine
something to brodcast (here we will simply use a lifecycle for testing.)

SFX in GKC, YIPPE!!!!

First place a life cycle and make it so that its event is game start, when this event occurs brodcast a message on “SFX” then we place a good ol vending machine!
set it so that when you purchase from it, it brodcast on a channel, but don’t put anything there as we don’t need anything there. then set the item required to be ANY ITEM IN THE GAME! it doesn’t even matter which one. and set the required amount to be 0. Wait what? you can do that? Why yes you can! and now here comes the fun bit, go to the channels and look for “Attempt to Purchase when recieving on” it should look like this

if it doesn’t look like this then your Gimkit isn’t gimkitting.
and put in that channel input our “SFX” channel we made earlier Yippe!
Now test to make sure it works! tadaaaaa! we have now proven that GKC does have SFX that you can use!

Now you can use this sound whenever you please! now if someone asks if SFX’s are possible in GKC just say that custom sounds aren’t possible yet however you can use the vending machine sound.
Bye!

Nice how do you do guides so quick?

Nicely done! Good detail, and easy to understand

Pictures Are Powerful

Maybe some space, titles, organization?

I think the amount of organization this guide has right now is enough, its too short to really need it. also I didn’t use much pictures as I didn’t feel like I needed to.

i feel like this didn’t really need to be made. there are already many help topics on what devices have sound effects. so if you just listed them, they would do the same thing. also, you forgot checkpoint, damager, sentries, button, (i think there was one more).

its not a list, its a guide on how you can use the vending machine sound as a sound cue. did you not read the guide? its letting you know how to use this, not WHICH ones can play sound effects.

it might as well be how to use a vending machine with channels. and that’s super simple.

I think @CustomCoaster was looking for something like this…

Why would I need a sound cue?
Better name is audio cue

Bruh you made a whole topic about this

there’s a reason the gimkit-beginners tag is there :expressionless: . if your not a beginner it isn’t for you. I’m not going to argue but this is for beginners not for people who would already know this.

You can also use a checkpoint! Just takes a little more work
