3D Sound Problem

ID:145012

Code: 3D Sound. Just 3D Sound.
var/sound/S = sound('G13.wav')
//Changed later, and the next bit is cut off..
                S.x = M.x
                S.y = M.y
                S.z = 1
                view(M) << S


Problem description: The sound trails away the further the Player is from possibly (1,1,1), even though the Player is the actual maker of the sound.

You set it to the player's current location, not the player. However, I'm not sure how to fix this, but I know this is not the right way :P

Eek... but isn't that meant to be right? I mean, the Player does move... the sound should go with him if it is his Current Location.

It all depends on how you're doing it. You've only given us a sinppet, so we can only infer from that snippet.

                sleep(src.weapon.firedelay)

And screw you if its stolen. :(

the X, Y and Z represent the mob's position relative to the origin of the sound. Look at the DM reference for more information.

So I should use Get Step?


I needa littttle more detailed help then that.

Read the reference. It has a few different pages about 3D sound and how it works.

The X, Y, and Z variables aren't related to the BYOND map. They're where the sound seems to be coming from, relative to the player. A sound with x=-5 and z=5 would sound like it's coming from somewhere ahead and to the left.

If you want it to sound like a sound is coming from a certain mob, then you need to compare the map X variable of the sound source and the person that hears it as well as the same with the map Y variable.

Indeed these aspects of the sound system can be confusing. I've actually had a BYONDscape article on the new sound features ready to go for some time, but I've been waiting to publish it until more content arrived. Since I see there's been more in the interim, I think I'll go ahead and submit it.

I think I've figured it, but I'm having the sound cut bug that some guy was having a while back. After a while, you don't hear anything, if you don't remember.

Is there any help on that?

You mean this one?

I haven't found anything to fix it yet, but I never got around to running those test. Maybe you should try Shadowdarke's suggestion, and we can compare notes? :)

My bet is on some kind of memory leak, though.
