Right. I've got a bit of a problem in GM 8 and would be eternally grateful if someone could help me out with it.

So I've got a bit of code that plays a sound from a certain object, and adjusts the volume based on distance to the player (louder if close, softer if far).

if distance_to_object(oAlinaPlayer)>500//the max distance to be able to hear it
{
sound_volume(xBubbleEnergy,0)
}
else
{


Vol=.8
Vol-=distance_to_object(oAlinaPlayer)/1000//increase this if you want the volume to decrease/increase slower
sound_volume(xBubbleEnergy,Vol)
}

This is the problem:



I think it is caused by the volume setting for one object is overriding the volume setting for all the others. Do you guys know how I can deal with this properly?

Thanks,
John Sandoval

Does distance_to_object return a positive or negative result?  If so, try adding abs() into your volume formula.

No, distance_to_object is returning a positive result.

When there's just one instance of this object, it works fine. But when I create another instance of this object (in-game) I can only hear the sound coming from the new instance.

Perhaps this can be solved by using 3d sound? Will test this out.

Never mind; I managed to fix the problem. Thanks though.
