Hey there,

i am currently in need to emit a sound from a given origin, similar to how gunfire works (You turn away from it and it still sounds like its coming from the origin, and not .. well .. everywhere).

I tried EmitAmbientSound with a given origin, the sound does get louder the closer i get to the origin (And originate from it according to snd_visualize) but changing my rotation to the origin still results in it playing from "everywhere" instead of having a "stereo" effect like gunfire. EmitSoundToAll didnt bring much of a change either.

Am i missing something? Do i really need a speaker entity?

PHP Code:

EmitAmbientSound("weapons/m4a1/m4a1_02.wav", view_as<float>({3960.1, -2585.7, -15241.9})); 


Thanks!

Why not..

PHP Code:

int playerCount = 0, totalplayers[MAXPLAYERS+1];

for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
{
    if (!IsClientInGame(i) || IsFakeClient(i))
    {
        continue;
    }
    
    totalPlayers[playerCount++] = i;
}

float fSoundPos[3];
fSoundPos[0] = 3960.1;
fSoundPos[1] = -2585.7;
fSoundPos[2] = -15241.9;

EmitSound(totalPlayers, playerCount, "weapons/m4a1/m4a1_02.wav", SOUND_FROM_WORLD, SNDCHAN_WEAPON, _, _, _, _, _, fSoundPos); 


?

Just tried it, your version suffers from the same issue. The sound does get louder the closer i am to the given origin, but its not "stereo", as in it seems to play from everywhere, and not from the given origin.

Weapon sounds are actually played in mono but the file is stereo. The Left line is the near sound, right is the far away sound (or mirrored dunno).
Just tell the engine to use special sound chacaters in the path.

PHP Code:

EmitAmbientSound(")weapons/m4a1/m4a1_02.wav", view_as<float>({3960.1, -2585.7, -15241.9})); 


or just use the names from the game_sounds*.txt

"Weapon_AWP.Single"
{
	"channel"		"CHAN_WEAPON"
	"soundlevel"		"SNDLVL_TALKING"
	"wave"		")weapons/awp/gunfire/awp1.wav"
}

PHP Code:

EmitAmbientGameSound("Weapon_AWP.Single", view_as<float>({3960.1, -2585.7, -15241.9}));

Never knew that existed, that indeed was the solution. Thanks a lot!
