So I run this function:

PHP Code:

    EmitSoundToClient(iClient, SOUND_FILE_NAME, iEntity); 


where iClient is the client index and iEntity is an entity they touched. The sound does play correctly when they touch said entity, but the fading distance is way too high. In other words, I want the sound to fade away quicker with increasing distance. So if the current fade distance is 300 HU (just pulling a number out of my ass), where 301+ HU away from the entity you can't hear the sound at all, I want to change it to, say 100 HU.

Is this possible with this function? If not, is there another way to accomplish playing a sound when a client touches an entity?

The sound is in the client's VPK files in the default TF2 installation.

Thanks!

To avoid falling into the XY-Problem trap, I'm using a plugin to force back the scrapped upgrades station elevator music to all MvM maps. The issue comes if there are 2 upgrade stations somewhat close to each other, in which both of them will emit the sound and it will become somewhat of an earrape.

if getvectordistance me you <= 300.0

emitsoundtocilent(you, "soudn.wav");




entity == me


I know it's not what you asked. You could look at slender fortress's ClientMusicStart thing which also changes the volume of the sound. Fade the sound based on distance.

I believe the distance it travels is implicitly controlled by the level argument. Sound level is inversely proportional to the attenuation. Low attenuation sounds travel farther, so the higher the sound level, the farther it will travel.

Check the SNDLEVEL values in sdktools_sounds.inc for some values you can use for the sound level.

The level argument did the trick. Thanks Ross!

PHP Code:

EmitSoundToClient(iClient, SOUND_FILE_NAME, iEntity, SNDCHAN_AUTO, SNDLEVEL_DRYER);
