Game.Simulation.GroupAmbienceType

Assembly: Assembly-CSharp
Namespace: Game.Simulation

Type: public enum

Base: byte

Summary:
Enumeration used by the simulation/audio/ambience systems to classify ambient sound or atmosphere groups for tiles, districts, buildings or simulation groups. Each value represents a distinct ambience category (for example different residential/industrial tiers, natural sounds like forest or seagulls, weather-related ambience, etc.). The enum is backed by a byte and includes a trailing Count value used as a sentinel/size marker.

  Oil-industry ambience (pumping, rigs).

• Ore
  Ore/mining ambience (mines, heavy extraction equipment).

• OfficeLow
  Low-tier office ambience (small office buildings).

• OfficeHigh
  High-tier office ambience (larger corporate office soundscape).

• ResidentialMedium
  Medium-density residential ambience (townhouses, mid-density neighborhoods).

• ResidentialHigh
  High-density residential ambience (apartments, urban housing).

• ResidentialMixed
  Mixed residential ambience (mixed-use residential areas).

• CommercialHigh
  High-density commercial ambience (shopping districts, busy commercial centers).

• ResidentialLowRent
  Low-rent / lower-income residential ambience.

• Traffic
  Traffic-centric ambience (road noise, vehicles, intersections).

• Forest
  Natural forest ambience (birds, wind in trees).

• Rain
  Weather ambience for rain (rainfall, water dripping).

• WaterfrontLow
  Low-intensity waterfront ambience (calm shorelines, light waves).

  Nighttime forest ambience (nocturnal wildlife, night sounds).

• AquacultureLand
  Aquaculture / fish farm land-based ambience.

• SeagullAmbience
  Seagulls and coastal bird sounds (typically for sea/coast areas).

• Count
  Sentinel representing the number of defined ambience types (useful for array sizing, bounds checks).

Properties

• None (this is a plain enum type; no properties are defined)

Constructors

• None (enum types do not define constructors; underlying byte values start at 0 and increment by 1 unless explicitly assigned)

Methods

• None (no methods are defined on the enum)

Usage Example

// Example: selecting an audio bank or clip based on ambience type
GroupAmbienceType ambience = GroupAmbienceType.SeagullAmbience;

switch (ambience)
{
    case GroupAmbienceType.SeagullAmbience:
        PlayAmbientSound("Seagulls");
        break;
    case GroupAmbienceType.Forest:
    case GroupAmbienceType.NightForest:
        PlayAmbientSound("ForestWindAndBirds");
        break;
    case GroupAmbienceType.Rain:
        PlayAmbientSound("RainLoop");
        break;
    case GroupAmbienceType.Traffic:
        PlayAmbientSound("CityTraffic");
        break;
    default:
        // fallback / silence
        StopAmbientSound();
        break;
}

// Casting to underlying byte value (for serialization or compact storage)
byte rawValue = (byte)GroupAmbienceType.Industrial;
