HammeriteAudioSoundType

Audio. Inherits Resource

One kind of sound, as far as gameplay is concerned: how loud it is and how far it carries.

Sound types are what connect a thing that makes noise to the things that might hear it. An emitter stamps its type on what it plays; a listener says which types it cares about; and a sound is only ever propagated to a listener when the two agree. That matching is not just a filter, it is the cost control - a footstep with nothing listening for footsteps does no work at all.

Keeping the numbers here rather than at each call site means "how far does a footstep carry" is a question with one answer, in one place, that a designer can retune without touching gameplay code.

Why it is the way it is, for whoever tunes it. Never seen by a player.
