Sounds playing scenarios

SaberBase::DoEffect(EFFECT_ALT_SOUND, 0.0, N);

As much as I like the idea of ALT_SOUND, I dislike very much the idea that my different “engine_sounds.wav” would need to be named “inxx.wav”, “outxx.wav” & “humxx.wav”.

Do you also dislike using faucet knobs as lightsaber pommels?
Using things in ways they weren’t intended is a time-honored art form.

Would it be crazy to imagine EFFECT3(X, Y, Z) where if Y = Z, X would play and seemlessly play Y looping to Y ?
#define EFFECT3(X, Y, Z) Effect SFX_##X(#X, &SFX_##Y, &SFX_##Z)

The way to do that is:

EFFECT2(third, third);
EFFECT2(second, third);
EFFECT2(first, second);

No need for an EFFECT3 macro.

What is the command/syntax to start “playing” EFFECT2(X, Y) ?

In most cases, you probably want something like:

  hybrid_font.PlayPolyphonic(&SFX_first);
