How to make the volume higher when something gets closer

Hello,

So what i want is when a object comes closer to you, a noise sound will increase volume.
I want the sound increase when the magnitude is equal or lower than 50.

LocalScript:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local image = script.Parent.Static
local noise = script:WaitForChild("Static")

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:connect(function()
	local mag = (workspace["Red Killer"].HumanoidRootPart.Position - plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude
	if plr.Character and plr.Character:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart') and mag <= 50 then
		image.ImageTransparency = (mag*2)/100
		noise.Volume = -- I don't know!!
	end
end)

what is the maximum volume you want?
like if magnitude was 0

#3

I would like it to be 1.
It doesn’t really matter because if it was 5 i can just divide by 5.

Thank you for trying to help!

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local plr = players.LocalPlayer
local image = script.Parent.Static
local noise = script:WaitForChild("Static")

runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    local mag = (workspace["Red Killer"].HumanoidRootPart.Position - plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude

    if plr.Character and plr.Character:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart') and mag <= 50 then
        image.ImageTransparency = (mag * 2) / 100
        noise.Volume = (50 - mag) * 0.01 + 0.5
    end
end)

is this what you want?
it should work

Hello again,

It is in the correct way.
The only thing is i want 50 to be max and not 100.
If the magnitude is 100 then its 0 while 50 must be 0.

Thank you for the reply!

#6

I never made 100 the max?
50 is still the max

#7 
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local plr = players.LocalPlayer
local image = script.Parent.Static
local noise = script:WaitForChild("Static")

runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    local mag = (workspace["Red Killer"].HumanoidRootPart.Position - plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude

    if plr.Character and plr.Character:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart') then
        image.ImageTransparency = if mag <= 50 then (mag * 2) / 100 else 1
        noise.Volume = if mag <= 50 then (50 - mag) * 0.02 else 0
    end
end)

you could try this code

I guess you’re doing this because none of the default modes perform the way you’d like?

Whell, the thing is when i do print((50 - mag) * 0.01 + 0.5) while mag = 100 then i get 0.
I want mag to be 50 and get 0 and not 0.5.

#10

oh my bad

edited my recent post just now to include (50 - mag) * 0.02 instead

thanks for telling me

#11

Thank you!
That’s exactly what i need!

You can also just toy around with this property until you get the desired effect.

#13

Sir_Highness already said that in his reply
don’t know why you replied with that

#14

He should’ve been given the solution mark then since it’s usually better to use that than to manage sound programmatically.

#15

well I agree with you, I’m just saying look before you reply

#16

Why? 2 people offering the same solution is typically a good indication that, that solution is the correct one to use.

#17

well you could have expanded on the property
if you don’t want to expand on it, then why reply with the same thing

your reply seemed like a copy of the other reply, which imo seems like it doesn’t have any purpose being there

#19

why do you care how long I take?
wasn’t typing the whole time

I’m not gonna respond anymore anyways, I gtg
