bevy-rrise

What is bevy-rrise?

It's a plugin for the Bevy engine that integrates the Wwise sound engine.

It relies on my Rrise crate for the Rust bindings of Wwise.

PRs welcomed!

Usage

First, take a look at the system requirements for Rrise: they are the same for bevy-rrise!

Definitely take a look at the examples for the best way to learn how this crate works.

Just add the plugin settings as resources to your Bevy app, then add the plugin itself. That's it, you can now spawn RrEmitter components, RrEmitterBundles or RrDynamicEmitterBundles!

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        // Use Rrise with default settings 
        .add_plugin(RrisePlugin)
        .add_startup_system(setup_scene)
        .add_system(update)
        .run();
}

fn setup_scene(
    mut commands: Commands,
    mut meshes: ResMut<Assets<Mesh>>,
    mut materials: ResMut<Assets<StandardMaterial>>,
) {
    // Load soundbank containing our PlayHelloWorld event structure and media
    if let Err(akr) = load_bank_by_name("TheBank.bnk") {
        panic!("Couldn't load TheBank: {}", akr);
    }

    // Setup mesh audio emitter
    commands
        .spawn_bundle(PbrBundle {
            mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Icosphere::default())),
            material: materials.add(Color::RED.into()),
            ..default()
        })
        .with_children(|parent| {
            // Attach dynamic emitter in the center of the parent
            parent.spawn_bundle(
                RrDynamicEmitterBundle::new(Vec3::default())
                    .with_event("PlayHelloWorld", true),
            );
        });

    // ... setup rest of scene
}

fn update(/* ... */) {
    // ... update scene
}

RrDynamicEmitterBundle (or RrEmitter components sitting on entities with a TransformBundle) will get their transform updates forwarded to Wwise automatically.

If they have a bevy:core::Name component, emitters will send their entity's name to Wwise for easy monitoring.

Don't hesitate to enable logging at the debug level for bevy-rrise to get an idea of what's happening under the hood! It can also help diagnose why your sounds might not work.
