i want to play this sound after the camera has got to a certain point so i did a distance check so when it got within a certain range it plays the sound but all i can hear is the sound trying to play, its like a crackling noise.why wont it play please.

heres what i put

+ Code Snippet

if Sqrt((object position x(3) - camera position x())^2 + (object position y(3) - camera position y())^2 + (object position z(3) - camera position z())^2) < 10
play sound 1
endif

Are you trying to start the sound every frame that that is true? For example, if you could check to see if the sound was already playing, and not try to start it?

In pseudocode (because I've not got DB here...)

+ Code Snippet

If CAMERA_IS_CLOSE_ENOUGH = 1 and SOUND_PLAYING = 0
  Play Sound
  SOUND_PLAYING = 1
endif

I'm just guessing though, as I can't test it
