  3. Bake your effect with dependencies. This should copy the sound file to your baked pack along with the other dependencies.

Setup in Unity

  1. Add a PKFxSoundManager component (from the PKFxManager assembly) in your scene.

  3. Click "Assets > PopcornFX > Move Sounds From Pack to Resources".
    This will scan the PackFX directory looking for sound files and move them to Assets/Resources/PKFxSounds so that Unity can play them.
    You may need to refresh your project view for the sound to play along with your FX.
