I'm having a strange issue when using an AmbientSoundSimpleToggleable attached to an InterpActor. I have a sound and an object that needs to become visible/audible at a certain point in the level. The problem is that a Toggle Hidden action in kismet appears to disable the ambient sound.
To reproduce, create an InterpActor and an AmbientSoundSimpleToggleable. Set the InterpActor to be the base of the AmbientSound and set Auto Play to false. Create a kismet sequence that toggles the sound on at level load. Create a toggle hidden with the InterpActor as the target and Toggle Based Actors checked. Create a Matinee or a delay or something to call the UnHide input at a later time. This will cause the sound to play on level load, then stop playing when the actor becomes visible.
Here is a snippet of the kismet sequence I used:
Some notes about this:
1. If the sound is set to autoplay, it won't get disabled on unhide, but at times it seems to change the volume level of the sound, although this could just be my ears playing tricks on me.
2. It does not matter what is called, hide, unhide, toggle, they all turn the sound off if it's previous state was toggled on.
3. It does not ever seem to toggle the sound on if the previous state was off.
The work around for me is just to call a toggle on the sound after the unhide, but I'm sure this won't work for every situation.

1. If the sound is set to autoplay, it won't get disabled on unhide, but at times it seems to change the volume level of the sound, although this could just be my ears playing tricks on me.
2. It does not matter what is called, hide, unhide, toggle, they all turn the sound off if it's previous state was toggled on.
3. It does not ever seem to toggle the sound on if the previous state was off.
The work around for me is just to call a toggle on the sound after the unhide, but I'm sure this won't work for every situation.
