How do I change the sound of an engine (Ideally XML)

1,654 WacoTaco  5.4 years ago

I am effectively trying to get a prop engine to sound like a jet engine. I am sure there is an input I can write in to the XML modder to change the sound file the specific engine accesses (just like you can use a special input to change the color of bullets). I just do not know what that input is or what I would even conceivably write in for it.

Just a little background, I am making a jet-powered fighter, from the front of which you are supposed to be able to see the fans (a follow up to a previous project I posted a while ago). I used props for these fans, and the new version looks good. The thing is, I want them to spin, and fast, but if I have them powered up, my fighter sounds like the jumble of a propeller and jet-driven lump it is.

Any advice?

    @JamesBoA Changing the physical size of the engine does not seem to affect the audio. A .1 x .1 prop is just as loud as a 10 x 10. That's the problem.
