Thanks so much for sharing this! Super helpful in the jam.
I'd like to sync the bullet fire rate to my music. I have custom cues triggering from my music atm, but is there a way to hijack the fire rate in the spawn settings? I have 8 different music cue types and would to set a spawn pattern to each type of cue. While ensuring the bullets fire in time with my cues.
Any recommendations on how to do that?
Thanks!

You make it sound so simple haha. What do I need to know in order to access the fire rate? If I just run the Spawn function from my "weapon" it only tackles the location and direction, but not the speed.
If I try to call SetSpeedSettings, I'm not sure what to pass to it in order to actually send information over to it.
Do those questions make sense?
Thank you for the help!
It's acting super weird,
So I have a callback from Wwise into Unity. It is watching for a marker in my project. Whenever the marker is hit, it returns a string of the name of the marker. So unity is getting 5 ish markers every beat. So the spawn will do a random burst and then just shut off, even though I can see that my if statement is printing to my debug every marker.
My fire rate is set to 0. Burst I'm assuming should be 1? I tried 0 and there were no bullets.
But Spawn, it should produce one bullet per call to the function right? Even if I called it once, it would be
Call Spawn
Spawn fires 1 bullet
Spawn does nothing until called again
I feel like I'm missing something super basic about how this is functioning, any recommendations? Am I approaching it from the wrong angle perhaps?
are you in the discord server? It'll be much easier for me to help there, or via support@wayfarer-games.com 😅
Spawn fires as many bullets as the spawn settings describe. So if you've got numSides = 5, numPerSide = 1 it will fire 5 bullets in a circle every time you call Spawn. It would help if I can see you bullet settings, spawn settings and the code you're using that calls Spawn
