UGameplayStatics::PlayDialogueAtLocation

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.9

#include "Kismet/GameplayStatics.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Plays a UDialogueWave at a fixed world location with spatialization and attenuation. Fire-and-forget — no component is returned, so playback cannot be stopped early.

Caveats & Gotchas

• No replication is performed; in multiplayer sessions, ensure this is called on each client independently or via a multicast RPC.
• An overload without the Rotation parameter exists as a convenience wrapper; prefer the explicit-rotation version for directional sources.
• If the FDialogueContext cannot resolve a SoundBase (e.g. the speaker voice is null), the call is silently skipped.

Signature

static ENGINE_API void PlayDialogueAtLocation(const UObject* WorldContextObject, class UDialogueWave* Dialogue, const FDialogueContext& Context, FVector Location, FRotator Rotation, float VolumeMultiplier = 1.f, float PitchMultiplier = 1.f, float StartTime = 0.f, USoundAttenuation* AttenuationSettings = nullptr)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
WorldContextObject	const UObject*	Object used to obtain the world context.	—
Dialogue	class UDialogueWave*	The dialogue wave asset to play.	—
Context	const FDialogueContext&	Speaker and target context to resolve the audio variation.	—
Location	FVector	World-space position to play the dialogue at.	—
Rotation	FRotator	Orientation of the dialogue source.	—
VolumeMultiplier	float	Linear scalar applied to the volume.	1.f
PitchMultiplier	float	Linear scalar applied to the pitch.	1.f
StartTime	float	Offset in seconds into the dialogue to begin playback.	0.f
AttenuationSettings	USoundAttenuation*	Optional attenuation override asset.	nullptr

Return Type

void

Example

Play spatialized NPC bark at actor location C++

FDialogueContext Ctx;
Ctx.Speaker = NPCVoice;
Ctx.Targets.Add(PlayerVoice);
UGameplayStatics::PlayDialogueAtLocation(
	this, BarkWave, Ctx,
	GetActorLocation(), GetActorRotation(),
	1.f, 1.f, 0.f, AttenuationAsset);
