AudioStreamPlayer2D max distance

UnknownUser

Hi,

I am trying my first game in Godot (and in forever too), and am trying to implement some sound effect.

The variable max_distance is interesting, however, I am doing a 2D platformer which work with a camera 2D. And this max_distance seems to be related to the origin of the canvas. I would like it to be related to the distance of the center of the camera, or the player coordinates.

Is there something I didn't do? understand?

Thanks,

It is visible when I replied, just future comments would fall into the moderation queue until someone on forum staff approved them. Now when you post, it won’t need manual approval. Thanks for verifying :)

As for the question, I am unsure on why max distance is not working, though I have not used it myself. Is the player Camera2D node set to current?

Hi,

Yes it is set to current, I don't know why it is based on the origin of the canvas. The camera is a child of a kinematics2D, do you think this could have an impact?

I do not think it being a KinematicBody2D should have any impact.

Looking around, it seems it could be that the source code only considers the Viewport position, rather than the Camera2D, based on this QA post. I have only taken a small look through the source code for AudioStreamPlayer2D though, so I cannot say with certainty how it works nor if the viewport position being the only position taken into account is accurate.

Hi,

Thanks for looking at it. His answer is not very clear on how he made it work though. If I find a solution I will update this post.

Thanks,
