How do I play audio at object

I have been using "regular" audio in my game. But now I need a sound that makes it at an object. So the closer I get to the object the harder it sounds.

The object is a cannon who fires a bullet. sound is "poof"(for example) So I want that when I am standing next to the cannon poof is louder then when I am further away from it. I also have multiple cannons.

So i use the action: Play at object.

Then I get some options I dont fully understand

Inner angle:

outer Angle:

Outer gain:

I triend all different kind of settings but none of them work.

I tried looking for tutorials but can't find them about this specific subject.

Can somebody please help me fix this problem. If you need any other information let me know. I rather not give my capx I hope you understand.

Inner angle and outer angle are to create a cone of sound. If you leave them at there original values, which ara inner:360 outer:360 gain:0, you create a circle of sound around the object instead of directional sound.

I still do not understand how it is to operate. i set values to 1000 and still audio not playing (?)

Thank you for your answer. I tried it however nothing changed. I still have that when I am far away from the object I hear it as loud as standing next to it. I tried different outer gain as well.

So far it seems to do the same as action: play

Audio manuak

I guess you should change listener z-height, roll-off and/or any other audio settings before noticing any effect.

I am making a platform game. Do you have any tips on how to do that with the sound.

So how do I make the sound right? I wish there was a tutorial about it.

First you should use the audio set listener object action, that will probably help a lot.

I set my player object as listener object I tried it on start of the alyout as well as on every tick

Did you have a look at the audio object properties and set them to the values you'd like?

Here's an example Capx

While playing click with your mouse around the player to hear the effect.

(further away softer (because of roll off factor))

Thank you very much I finally understood what I needed to do. The funniest thing was. At first it didn't work then I realised I was previewing IE and the other capx was in chrome. That did the trick.

But without your help it wouldn't be working now

:D

PS just saw you were dutch as well on your website;)

LittleStain thanks

So my next problem is that it does not work in cocoonjslauncher.

Does anybody knows a solution or does this function not work on phones?
