Hellu.

I've got a little questen regarding 3Dsounds. Well, the only thing 3Dsound actually does is to fix the pan of the sound so it's being played in the left or inte the right speakre, true? Well, I would also like the sound to fade out when the player are traveling FROM the sound, and vice versa. I've tried to fix this by using this code:



I've used the calculation found i this tutorial:
http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?f=t02/bm_tutorial_7

The problem that I'm facing is this:
Of course when I'm getting to far away from the object (2), Volume# equals zero (Volume#=0), but as I'm getting further and furhter away, it starts to increase again! The most logic thing would be if the value would become negative, wouldn't it?

So I'm wondering; is there an easy way to calculate the distance between two objects by using the X- and Z-coordinates of them?
Thanks!

Yes, there's an easy way to calcualte 2D distances, which is to use the tutorial link you just posted. Of course, here is the formula you're supposed to use:


And here is your butchered version of that formula:


Notice how you add when the formula requires subtraction, and you also did not put parenthesis around the first two subtracted values, meaning that instead of (object position X(1) - object position X(2)) being squared, only object position X(2) is squared.

Here is the formula correctly applied to your objects:

Ahh, I see. Thank you! It works like a charm now
