Hi everyone
am tryin to script an entity so that it loops a sound when the player is near and the sound fades away as the player gets further..
here's wut I have so far

+ Code Snippet

:state=0,plrdistwithin=600:loopsound=$0,state=1

:state=1,plrdistwithin=100:MUSICVOLUME=100
:state=1,plrdistwithin=200:MUSICVOLUME=80
:state=1,plrdistwithin=300:MUSICVOLUME=60
:state=1,plrdistwithin=400:MUSICVOLUME=40
:state=1,plrdistwithin=500:MUSICVOLUME=20

:state=1,plrdistfurther=600:stopsound

it doesn't work and the entity doesn't play any sound close or far..

-I've assigned the sound in the entity properties
-set the entity to dynamic
-put the script in (main)

TY

Well, where is the sound path, and file you are looping?

I think it has do do with the MUSICVOLUME. Check out page 226 of the guide.

Try to put something in the loopsound instead of directing it to the sound in the properties.

+ Code Snippet

:state=0,plrdistwithin=600:loopsound=PUT HERE SOMETHING,state=1

:state=1,plrdistwithin=100:MUSICVOLUME=100
:state=1,plrdistwithin=200:MUSICVOLUME=80
:state=1,plrdistwithin=300:MUSICVOLUME=60
:state=1,plrdistwithin=400:MUSICVOLUME=40
:state=1,plrdistwithin=500:MUSICVOLUME=20

:state=1,plrdistfurther=600:stopsound

@Red Eye: tried didn't work either

@Nicky:
page 226 is "How can I move part of my map to another part of the play area?", if u mean the volume formula i applied it and still doesn't work (ps: it's page 212)

here's what I got

+ Code Snippet

:state=0,plrdistwithin=600:loopsound=audiobank\atoms\Electric_buzz2.wav,state=1

:state=1,plrdistwithin=100:MUSICVOLUME=100
:state=1,plrdistwithin=200:MUSICVOLUME=0
:state=1,plrdistwithin=300:MUSICVOLUME=-100
:state=1,plrdistwithin=400:MUSICVOLUME=-200
:state=1,plrdistwithin=500:MUSICVOLUME=-300

:state=1,plrdistfurther=600:stopsound

I don't think that MUSICVOLUME controls sounds. I think it controls the level music (background) but I could be wrong.

The musicvolume command only works on music, as xplosys has said.

You may need to use "SoundScale=X" for this, though this effects all 3d sounds.

but wouldn't SoundScale control the sound of all the level?

Yes it would. But at this point you have no other alternative other than to just let the 3d sound act as it should (which SHOULD get softer as you move away from it)
