    GameMaker [Solved]How to make the sound feels like it comes from behind or in front of players?

    Hi guys I've been experimenting with the listener, emitter of GMS to create 3D-like sound effect, however, I'm still struggling at how to make the sound feels like it's coming from behind or in front of player. Right now when the emitter is at the left or right of listener, the sound plays at...

    3d sound sometimes does not play / stops playing inexplicably

    so I have a snowstorm-object emitting 3d sound of a heavy wind, as follows: Create: emitter_id = audio_emitter_create() audio_falloff_set_model(audio_falloff_linear_distance); audio_emitter_position(emitter_id,x,y,0) audio_emitter_falloff(emitter_id,400,1300,1)...

    3D sound randomly just doesn't play

    So in my game (top-down 2D strategy game) I've implemented 3d sounds via emitters. For example, there's snowstorms, that emit a wind sound. When such an object (obj_snowstorm) passes by or onscreen, players hear the sound in 3d. However, sometimes it just doesn't play even if the object passes...

    Two audio_listeners?

    In my 2d top-down game I have splitscreen for two players. my game also implements 3d audio so both the player objects are 'listeners.' However if only it were as easy as to put audio_listener_position in the Step event of both player objects... I acknowledge there are 'audio masks'...

    How to make 3d sounds fall silent when far enough

    I'm using audio emitters in my top-down strategy game with such codes in most objects: Create: emitter_id = audio_emitter_create(); audio_play_sound_on(emitter_id,rumble,true,1); Step: audio_emitter_position(emitter_id,x,y,0); Destroy: audio_emitter_free(emitter_id); With the player being...

    Pausing and resuming a 3d sound

    In my 2d strategy game i use a lot of 3d sounds using emitters, and they work just fine. Mostly, it means an object plays a sound once, or an object plays a sound and is then destroyed. Often my code is as follows, Create: emitter_id = audio_emitter_create()...

    Question - Code Audio Listener and Emitter not working.

    Hello! I have noticed that audio listener / emitter are not working as expected anymore. I don't know if it's due to the latest GMS2 version. The sound panning effect is correct, but the audio gain never fades out with distance, it's always at max volume. Is this issue happening to anyone else...

    Legacy GM Audio emitter sound problem

    I have set 3d sounds to some bullets in my game, so the sound has falloff and changes it's speaker orientation depending on the listener (player) position. Those bullets make a sound as they travel. At this point, the 3d sound works perfectly. However, when a bullet is destroyed, I want it to...
