.. Been doing some beta testing of my game, and I ran through it without killing the baddies (just in case someone might do that) and sure enough, as I'm in a totally different section of the map I can still hear them shooting at me (audio only)... Other then the "destory if off screen" (their paths cause them to go off screen frequently) can anyone think of a way to silence these guys when they are x distance from player?

make an actor variable called sound,
and use this

Code: Select all

if(distance(x, 0, player.x, 0) > 100)sound = 0;
else
{
   sound = 1;
}


and when that play the sound use:

Code: Select all

PlaySound2("data/your_sound.wav", sound, 1, 0.000000);


I hope that helps.

So I made the actor variable called sound... (not very advanced when it comes to variables mind you)... so where do I put the:
if(distance(x, 0, player.x, 0) > 100)sound = 0;
else
{
sound = 1;
}
????

draw actor event for that badies

... doesnt seem to work... the laser(actor) is creates the sound upon it's creation, so I put the code-
------
if(distance(x, 0, player.x, 0) > 100)sound = 0;
else
{
sound = 1;
}
-----
in it's creation script (even tried draw actor script too) and removed the original create actor/play sound function and replaced with create actor/script -
-----
PlaySound2("data/your_sound.wav", sound, 1, 0.000000);
-----
And now I hear nothing... adjusted the x distance in the script, and even moved my "not drawn at startup" laser actor close to the action (just to be sure)... nothing... Any ideas? (and I did adjust the "player" actor name in the code to fit my game, btw)

hmmm,
if it is for when the lazer is created then just use for the whole thing,

Code: Select all

if(distance(x, 0, y, 0) < 200)PlaySound2("data/your_sound.wav", sound, 1, 0.000000);

and you know you must change the data/your_sound to the exact sound stuff.
(click on variables/functions and the menu will pop up and click on playsound,
select the sound volume and location ect.
and you know what to do next

... Nothing seemed to work until I changed the sound variable from actor to global, now it works perfectly! Thanks again - thats twice today!

you're welcome, any time!
