Hi Guys,

I want to have like a sound source like a radio or a campfire.

These things normally produce sounds and I want the sound to be heard only within a range of lets say 5 meters.

The farer you get away from the source, the quieter the sound will be until its completely muted.
Do you get what I mean?

Are there existing scripts doing this? If yes, please help me out

I think this is it LINK

just make sure the sound you are using is a MONO .wav file.

here is one i use for a aircon sound noise.

I use the one ..
Never had a problem with it. Just attach it to whatever dynamic object you want ( Engine for example ) and add the sound in the object properties. See how you get on with this one.

That's a very easy script to put together. When i read 3D sound I thought you meant more of left and right panning based on emission location.

If you want this to work with an even wider distance of fade, make sure to have your script Always Active.

Thanks guys!!

It works like a charm

So You came back to GG after all?
In My opinion unity sucks.
Glad You joined Us again...

hehe

I wouldn't say it sucks, it's far superior than most engines, and light years ahead of gameguru. It's just has a steep learning curve being less click and play than gameguru is.

The amount of times i see people saying things like "doing X Y and Z in gameguru is a nightmare, i shouldn't have to edit this and that file outside the engine blah blah, unity is much easier", and i think to myself that they obviously haven't really delve into unity, because in some cases unity is even worse for external editing than gameguru is, but on the other hand there's stuff in unity that just makes gameguru look clunky, it's six of one and half a dozen of the other really.

For having used both Unity and Unreal, I'd have to say that the widget in GG is still incredibly painful to use at times for me personally. Top-down, however, is not so bad, but for complex layering while in free-flight mode... its just really difficult to use and certainly needs some improvements. Positioning, Rotating and Scaling. But its a request going on several years now, so I'm assuming the majority of users find the state of it to be satisfactory.

Regarding sound in Game Guru, it would be interesting to see if it was possible to add effects. Load three of the same sound file and play 1 after the other with delays and lowered volume for echo'ed effect. Maybe pass in different pitches of the subsidiary duplicated audio files to create the sound of being inside a sewer. ETC. I know the other engines have plugins for audio effects like this but it may actually be possible with LUA to achieve similarly. Not sure how many channels one entity can play, layered, but might need to run it by multiple for the delay to work out.

shhhhh... lol

It can't hurt to see whats out there, I am just trying to make a game and i will learn as much as I need to finally get this project done. And I will use the tools that fit the best for my project. Unity sure is great and i learned many new things but gameguru has its pro's too.

Your last lot of Demos were incredible .. Its you that's stopping yourself .. I have no idea why you gave up on some ?

I can assure you that I dont drop projects randomly. There is always a reason for it. A reason too big for one man to solve.

Same here, totally agree.
GG's broken stand- alone's are one thing too big for one man to solve.

Now I don't map games anymore. If I get back into game making, it might be
somewhere else, and definitely would be with a partner. Not saying GG
doesn't have a great idea-- but even the developers now admit that it is NOT
and was never intended to be an AA type engine.

Actually that's too bad to hear. I like the simple UI, but what else?

You make it sound like its new news but that's been the case since day One.
We all knew that before Development.

yes, i actually think it was a mistake to move away from the easy game maker approach, that was GG's unique selling point, now it's just another game engine that really doesn't stand out in a crowd of much better competition and tried to do too much, was better suited to getting a quick game down and with a set goal in mind it would have been much easier to achieve a final product... now it feels like there's no direction anymore and will quickly become obsolete... though it wasn't an easy call for Lee to make, a lot of users want(ed) more and GG is still easy to use, it just doesn't feel like there's any progress on the original idea anymore which is a shame

Sure thing, but there is a slight difference between "not being an AAA engine" and "not being able to compile a game that meets MVP standards for commercial distribution".

Until 5.X Unity wasn`t an AAA engine either and thousands of viable, partially successful games came from it.

GG does not have to be AAA, simply TGC must retake the original idea and work on that line. As smallg said.
An AAA type engine moves light years away from the easy game maker.
With an AAA engine, the easy things will end, and the engine for all is also over, and becomes an engine for a few who gather the necessary knowledge and infrastructure.
This means redoing the engine completely from scratch; Now the X, dbo, etc. files become useless and I think that all the darkbasic code or whatever it is called, which must still have GG, also becomes obsolete.
Taking all that and much more into account, so that GG can be converted into AAA, why not create a new application from scratch and adapted from the beginning to modern times.
