How to make sound fade away w/ 3D sound?

Hi guys. I'm trying to get an effect where a sound will disappear if you get far away from it but I don't really understand how the sound works in construct.

This is what I'm doing now and it works to a degree, but the sound never fades out entirely (maybe its because i'm not going far away enough but I need it to fade out from less distance)

Also, I did set a listener object. The sound DOES fade, but I need to get it to fade out entirely after a distance of say 2000 pixels. What should I do here?

maybe you can check the distance, then stop it completely

not sure it is the more efficient way though

There isn't a way to do it with 3D sound...?

Sushin

just multiply the set volume with the distance of the 2 sprites (every tick)

if you started the sound with 3d effect it will remain 3d but with the added soundfading

example set volume

-10*distance(Sprite2.X,sprite2.Y,Sprite.X,sprite.Y)/100

Or you could try clicking on the Audio object in your project's object list on the right and play with Audio plugin properties on the left.

I'm mostly looking at the the 3 main things

• Distance model: how it calculates the volume reduction over a distance I suppose;
• Maximum distance: How far the volume will reduce before it stops reducing; and,
• Roll-off factor (probably what you're looking for: how quickly the volume is reduced as the source moves away.

Thanks. It's a little rough but that did the trick.

Thanks for the formula!
