What it does

Sound

Everything First Light: Lucina is heard through. One component, mounted on mount_sound, owning six audio sources and no game state at all.

SourceWhat it is
fl_snd_bedthe lamp room — sea below, wind at the storm glazing, the watch-room clock. Twenty seamless seconds, running all night.
fl_snd_drone_nightthe score before the light: a low G with the minor third in it.
fl_snd_drone_dawnthe same chord with the major third and the octave. The two trade places as Core.state.dawn climbs.
fl_snd_geigerthe counter, standing on the table beside the plate: a valve hum with the counts fired over it.
fl_snd_platespatial one-shots on the plate — the hands.
fl_snd_uinon-spatial one-shots — the screens, and the body.
fl_snd_scorethe moments that are music, on the music channel.

What it answers

Core.sfx(name) on the shared bus. Every name the design carries a sound for is a row in game.sound.library, which says which clip it is, how loud, how far its pitch may wander, and which source plays it — so a new sound is a row in a table rather than a branch in a hook.

What it derives

Nothing here is switched by an event. Every level is read out of Core.state each frame, which is why the sound is right the moment the state is, whichever slice moved it and whether or not that slice fired anything:

  • the score crossfades on state.dawn, and steps back by state.phase
  • the counter's rate is background + crystals × perCrystal + dose × perDose, counted off state.pieces and state.dose, with the gaps between counts drawn from an exponential — a counter, not a metronome
  • the mix ducks music, ambient and sfx under the voice channel for as long as state.subtitle says the Keeper is speaking, and lets go after

Fields

FieldMeaning
volumemaster trim on everything this component plays, before the channel levels
geigerOnwhether the counter is powered at all
clickRatecounts per second right now — read it to see the plate through the mix
readytrue once every source is built and its clip resolved
missingClipshow many clips failed to resolve; anything but zero means a bake is missing

Methods

  • :fire(name) — play one sound by its bus name, exactly as Core.sfx would
  • :rebuild() — drop the resolver cache and rebuild every source, after a re-bake

setCounter(powered: boolean) → void

Whether the counter should be running right now. Derived from the phase every frame rather than switched by the `phase` signal: a level that depends on another slice having fired an event is a level that is wrong for as long as that slice is unwritten, mid-reload, or one frame behind.

onSfxSignal(...: any) → void

The bus hands listeners `(...any)`, so the subscribed function takes the varargs and names its own arguments out of them rather than declaring a shape the bus does not promise.

argtypedescription
...any

findVoiceSources( ) → void

Whoever in this world speaks, they are on the `voice` channel — that is the whole contract, and it is enough to find them by. Ducking on a subtitle alone would miss a line delivered inside a staged beat, where the words are painted by the cutscene runtime and never reach Core.state.subtitle; ducking on the voice actually sounding cannot miss one however it was cued.

onSaySignal(...: any) → void

A voice source can only appear around a line being cued, so the scan runs on `say` rather than on a timer: a handful of times a round instead of a walk of the scene every frame.

drive(dt: number) → void

Everything below is derived from Core.state each frame: the score's place in the dawn, the counter's rate, and how far the room stands back from the Keeper. Nothing here writes game state.

The mix should be right while the room is being authored too, so the same body runs on the held clock. The guard is what keeps it from running twice in the one row of the table where both hooks fire.

Fire one sound by its bus name, exactly as `Core.sfx(name)` would.

Rebuild every source from the catalogue. Call after re-baking clips.

⌬ Metadata
descriptionThe whole sound of a game in one component: a seamless ambience bed, a two-voice score that crossfades on a 0..1 daylight value, a Geiger counter whose Poisson click rate is read off game state each frame, a named one-shot bus, and a four-channel mix that ducks itself under a speaking voice.

# game.sound.library The clip catalogue and the mix. Everything the game asks for by name is answered here: `Core.sfx("refused")` reaches `Library.SFX.refused`, which says which clip it is, how loud, how far its pitch may wander, and which of the Sound component's sources plays it. The component holds no clip names of its own. Adding a sound to the game is a row in this file. ## Why the resolvers look the way they do Every reference here is a literal identity inside its own `asset.tryResolve` thunk. That is not style. A computed asset reference cannot be statically pinned, the checker reports it as `asset-ref-not-literal`, and publishing refuses a world that carries one — so `Library.clip(name)` picks a thunk rather than building a name. Resolution is cached in the module's engine-held table, so a hot reload does not re-walk the registry for twenty-one clips. `Library.clip` never raises: a missing clip must cost the game a sound, never a frame. ## The mix Four channels, and the levels below are the whole balance of the game: the bed sits under the score, the score sits under the hands, and the Keeper is louder than any of it. | Channel | Level | What is on it | |---|---|---| | `ambient` | 0.62 | the lamp-room bed | | `music` | 0.55 | the two drones, and the moments that are music | | `sfx` | 0.90 | the hands, the counter, the screens, the body | | `voice` | 1.00 | the Keeper | `Library.DUCK` is what each of the first three is multiplied by while she is speaking, and `DUCK_RATE` how fast that comes in and lets go. ## The rest - `SFX` — the sixteen bus names, their clips, levels, pitch jitter and source - `GEIGER` — the counter's rate law, its ceiling, where it stands in the room - `SCORE` — the two drones' levels, the dawn window they trade across, and what they are worth in each phase - `BED` — the bed's level, and how far it steps back on the end cards - `GEIGER_PHASES` — which phases the counter is powered in
