proximity based volume [SOLVED] :)

Ah I figured it out almost!

every tick

for each "emitter"

distance < threshold

trigger once

/ play

every tick

for each "emitter"

distance > threshold

trigger once

/ stop

But when I copy different instances of the emitter, it only plays one instance of the audio, it's not emitting the same sound multiple times at the different sources.

Hmm, not too sure. If you post a simple, stripped down capx I'll take a look at it.

I figured it out :)

Here I made this little build for you to hear the proximity based area sounds. I took all the gameplay out all you can do is run around the level. Use arrow keys to move. Press space in the beginning to remove the platform.

Wow, that's really nice ! And the graphics are awesome! Glad the sounds worked for you, they really helped the atmosphere.

Cheers yeah, the audio is pretty essential in this game and working within the construct 2 audio limitations can be...tough. All I need now is panning, just simple panning :(

Haha, good luck with that!

I've got another challenge for you, volume based on speed.

GameObject speed = 0 : stop "sound"

GameObject speed > 0 : start "sound"

set "sound" volume to GameObject speed : min -20db / max 0db + rate

I'm sure it could be very similar to the proximity volume, I've been messing with it for an hour and had no luck so far

Something like this should work. Also, you can lerp the playback rate for a pretty interesting speed-up/slow-down effect.

Object is Moving

-->Trigger Once-->Start "sound" looping

-->Set "sound" volume: lerp(-50, 0, Object.Speed/'yourObjectsMaxspeed)

Cool thanks, I've not learnt lerp.

object.speed isn't anything that C2 can understand

Lerp is pretty awesome, but I still don't totally understand it either! Sorry, I assumed you were using custom movement or one of the behaviours to move your sprite. If you have Custom Movement, you can say Sprite.CustomMovement.Speed,

ah my game is all physics driven

Did you solve this ?

You can calculate a rough speed by taking the hypotenuse of the vectorx/vectory for the physics object.

SQRT((Thing.Physics.VectorX^2)+(Thing.Physics.VectorY^2))

or distance(0,0,Thing.Physics.VectorX,Thing.Physics.VectorY)

It's the only thing that's missing from the physics object is a general 'speed' variable that can be accessed, rather than having to calculate it each time. :)
