Sound script distance problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    Need a sound script that will be softly silence if you’re too far away from the sound.

    the sound will return to normal volume if you’re coming close to the sound.

  2. What is the issue?
    It doesn’t become silence while i’m far away from the sound.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    RollOffMaxDistance also working but it only use for player’s camera, which wasn’t what i wanted.

--This is a local script

local Players = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Players.Character
local MaxVolumeRange = 150

while task.wait(0.1) do
	for _, child in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
		if child:IsA("Sound") then
			local MaxVolume = child:GetAttribute("MaxVolume")			
			if MaxVolume ~= nil then
			local magnitude = (Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - child.Parent.Position).Magnitude
			child.Volume = (MaxVolume / 100) * (MaxVolumeRange / magnitude)
			end				
		end
	end
end

Assuming the sound gets quieter properly the only issue is that it doesn’t have a sound drop off point.

...
local magnitude = (Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - child.Parent.Position).Magnitude
if magnitude > 150 then
     child.Volume = 0
end
...

that didn’t work neither, i guess i would have to use RollOffMaxDistance then, i had no more choices :slightly_frowning_face:

You can change the center used by RollOffMaxDistance with SoundService:SetListener(…).

SetListener should be used on the client. You can set the listener to the character with something like:

local humanoidRootPart -- Probably use a connection to CharacterAdded then get the RootPart of the new character to get this value
game:GetService("SoundService"):SetListener(Enum.ListenerType.ObjectPosition, humanoidRootPart)

You can also set it to CFrames/positions in addition to BaseParts and the camera.

local Run = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Players.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local HRP = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local Model = script.Parent

Run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	for _, Child in pairs(Model:GetDescendants()) do
		if Child:IsA("Sound") then
			local Part = Child.Parent
			local Distance = (HRP.Position - Part.Position).Magnitude
			if Distance > 150 then
				Child.Volume = 0
			else
				Child.Volume = (75 / Distance)
			end
		end
	end
end)

Check that the distance is greater than 150 studs and then set the sound’s volume to 0 before using the distance in the formula to calculate what the sound’s volume should be.

I also opted to use the .RenderStepped event loop.

Oops, sorry but i already fixed my own problems, but your help will probably useful to others but still thanks for your help.

No problem, glad you could get it resolved.
