Class AudioTimeout

A framework for scheduled audio events with more precise and synchronized timing than using window.setTimeout. This approach creates an empty audio buffer of the desired duration played using the shared game audio context. The onended event of the AudioBufferSourceNode provides a very precise way to synchronize audio events. For audio timing, this is preferable because it avoids numerous issues with window.setTimeout.

Example: Using a callback function

function playForDuration(sound, duration) {
  sound.play();
  const wait = new AudioTimeout(duration, {callback: () => sound.stop()})
}
Copy

Example: Using an awaited Promise

async function playForDuration(sound, duration) {
  sound.play();
  const timeout = new AudioTimeout(delay);
  await timeout.complete;
  sound.stop();
}
Copy

Example: Using the wait helper

async function playForDuration(sound, duration) {
  sound.play();
  await AudioTimeout.wait(duration);
  sound.stop();
}
