Hello,

I want to do my own sound systems using client spk command, some spk tags, pawn code and math.
Only problem right now is:

Red - player
Two red/yellow lines - door
green something in the middle of picture - sound wave

Player hear that like there are no walls.
Basically i can make this with trace line:

Yellow line - trace line

but if there are a small hole in the wall then you can imagine what will happen.
I was thinking and i found no solution, i can do this but the code will use to much cpu.

Doing this by checking if that room is rendering will have also some problems

Dark Yellow - place what is not rendered

The player can not hear a sound but actually he must hear at least something.
Have someone idea how can i do things right?
Thanks!

And PS: my apologies about the last picture, its called laziness

Have you already some code or do you want to start this from begin now?

Sorry for the off-topic but how do you intend to change the volume according to players' position?

True, i made it long time ago but there was that problem so i deleted this, now im trying again but its useless. I think it must be done in client side so i can access to many stuff but we can not go client side road that way what i want.

With simple math and logic i guess.
Anyway, playing with volume spk command have those things like "s(value)" and "e(value)"
those are % of start and the end of the sound.
0-100% is not very much but i can change volume like 5-10 times per playing.

So i see, that way what i want is ... lets say too hard
Is there possible to check emit correct volume, example i create fake entity and then emit empty sound and check this sound volume for example player index 5 ?
its pretty bad way to do but at least something...

Use fm_is_visible and get_distance(_f).
What do you mean with 3d sound math?

read my main post....

3d sound math, calculating sound volume what depends "player angle", "distance between player and sound point", "if wall is thin then you can hear at least something right?" and so on...
but the major problem is that if there are a wall and a small hole then my sound volume will seems ingame no real.

i need to find that hole somehow if there is one, but big codes are bad because its in serverside and server must handle 32 players + that function is used often "example every player gun shot".
I think this what im trying to do is just too much...
If i can somehow create my own 3d sound system then that sound precache limit "512" is not my problem anymore, because i can put example 3 or 5 sounds into one .wav .
Its pretty hard to example because of my bad english. ( if you noticed... )
