Sound system (i ned halp)

Oh stuff nice catch, I was thinking of containerRaycast where the last (optional) argument(s) are exclusions.

So what you all are saying is just completely take out %Obj?

You sure everything will work? i mean what about Obj.getPosition? Wont that stop working?

[$trinick]

Only take it out of that one line.

initContainerRadiusSearch(%obj.getPosition(), 150, $TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType, %obj); // %obj is the player, not %this

This line should become

initContainerRadiusSearch(%obj.getPosition(), 150, $TypeMasks::PlayerObjectType); // %obj is the player, not %this

[Ctrooper]

well after taking %obj out, the gun shows up in game now, but im not hearing the distant gunshots, i made audio datablocks for them, i also included them in the file, they just simply refuse to play. Im not sure what is happening.

[$trinick]

Are the other ones working? You're probably out of range when the distant one plays. Sounds don't play all the way out to infinity -- they have a somewhat short radius.

[Ctrooper]

so 150 is to short of a radius?

[$trinick]

You didn't answer the question so I can't tell you what radius would be appropriate. However, if anything, 150 would be too long of a radius.

[Axo-Tak]

A good radius would be around 32-48 studs for the long-range sound. If you did 150 then nearly everyone would hear it, which gives potential for trolling.

[Thorfin25]

Iirc it's in torque units, not studs. So 150 TU == 300 studs.

[$trinick]

Yeah, studs aren't used as a unit of measurement anywhere. They're conveniently sized though, two studs are one Torque Unit. So 48 studs = 24 TU.
