[Indie 3.1]Source:SetRange() Bug?

[DudeAwesome]

I tried to create a small ambient/noise script like noise.lua

 

but

 

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/command-reference/source/sourcesetrange-r321

 

will not work. I tried to set Range to 0.1 but I can hear the sound attached to a pivot far far away. it also will not work with the standard Noise.lua script. Is this a bug?

It sounds (no pun intended) similar to what happens in LE2.5 when you don't have a "Listener" attached to the camera. Listener objects are needed to spatialize sound.

I´m blind? dont see listener class here

 

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/command-reference/

 

but

 

 

Listener:Create() 

 

 

is highlighted in leadwerks.

 

 

edit:

 

ok I´m confused. its in the index page listed

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/index/

 

I thought the index page == all functions from command reference?

[DudeAwesome]

what you mean with "attached". I created a camera and set the listener in the editor as child from the camera. the noise comes from an object far away but I still can hear it even with SetRange(0.1).

Seems like the link was removed or forgotten in the command reference.

Just make sure your sound is in mono format instead of stereo. OpenAL will not be able to use it for spatialization.

ok it have something to do with my .wav file but I dont know why. the files from the leadwerks demo are ok. my files are audible everytime

 

 

 

edit:

 

aggror was faster

 

ok maybe this is default knowledge but may put a note on the api that the soundfile have to be mono.

[AggrorJorn]

You are right. This should be mentioned in the documentation. As well as a link to the listener class.

ok it works but I´m not happy. when I look to the object then the split between right and left audiochannel is pretty hard. Is there a way to do this smoother? when I stay in front of a radio I want to hear it with both ears and not just with the closest one. when I look exact to the radio its "ok".

 

it sounds like "audiolaggs" when I look on an object and move the character (fps view) because of the toggle between left and right channel

 

 

it sounds like there a just 3 ways

 

left on right off

left on right on

left off right on

 

there is no transition between it

 

like

 

30% left 70% right
