# Animator Event Sounds

##  Overview

This component is used to play sounds with the Animal Controller.

This will receive events From the Animator and the Animations clips to play sounds using the method: PlaySound(string Name). 

This its recommended to be used when they are BlendTrees  on the Animator Controller, in which 2 or more Animation clips are blend. This blending weight is used to set the volume on the played sounds.

## How it works

The Animator Event Sounds need [**Animation Events**](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-AnimationWindowEvent.html) placed on the Animation Clips.

These require the PlaySound function, and a String Value. The string value correspond to the Component Sound Element.

![The Raven Fly Animation Clip has an Event with a function PlaySound("Wing Flap") ](https://963537199-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lzhr1XSMzMqNXjRnNlb%2F-Mjtx2UvuMZ7kGP0P0Jc%2F-Mju3Bi_0yPcoT_EQg_p%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=c89e71ff-31e8-4626-989b-068634dc2fab)

This is received by the component:

And it plays the a random sound from the clips list. using the Internal or Global Audio Source.

## Requirements
