No UI Sound while paused

[Robotique]

Hey guys! I've got a pause menu using a SoundTheme for my Clik button events (rollOver, click, etc). All the sounds work fine while the game is in an un-paused state, but not while the game is paused. Is there a DefaultProperties line or some other way to enable sounds from an extended GFxMoviePlayer while paused? Thanks a lot

Add to defaulproperties your class:
TimingMode=TM_Real

Thanks

I have that property set in the Movie class but no sound. The movie animates and everything fine, and it seems to be triggering the sounds silently because when I press 'Resume' to unpause I can hear them then.

Perhaps I'm missing some gfx property in the Actionscript?
I have this currently:
_global.gfxExtensions = true;

Is there a general way to play sounds through a pause event, like you would for background music or something?

Try changing the Sound Class for the sounds you want to use to the UI class (right-click SoundCue, choose Sound Class -> SFX -> UI). Sound Classes have a property that allows them to play when the game is paused that must be true and the UI class should have that set.

Awesome! Again you save the day for me ffejnosliw.

That makes sense now. The cues were set to 'Master'. I was testing with the UDKFrontEnd sound theme so I assumed it would work for me, but I guess Unreal must not be paused during that state.

The main menus in UT3 and the UDK example game are usually set overlayed on a map which is running to be able to do things in the background to give them a more dynamic feel so you are correct that the game wouldn't be paused in that case.

Thank you so much!
This is an answer to my question in the topic below. Just change the class of sound ...
