how do i create a looping sound that is only played locally?

[aximx51v]

ok, the title says it all. I've tried

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.sound_play("grav_gen",{object = noise.object, gain = 0.3, max_hear_distance = 1, loop = true})

and it plays the sound. but i can hear it no matter where i go!
what's the proper way to do this? anybody know?
thanks in advance.

Just making sure, noise.object is NOT the player, right?

make sure ogg is mono, not stereo one
only mono files can be played with positioning

well, the noise.object is not the player,
that'd be a funny conundrum though. lol
my ogg file wasn't mono, but converting it to mono didn't change anything.. :P

i just found out though, it has something to do with it being played in association with an object.
if i play the sound at a position (without the loop) the sound is localized like it should be.

Try dumping the position of noise.object at globalstep, and see if it moves

anybody know is the abm interval setting set in seconds, or can it be variable?
i could make my sound life play at a pos (non looped) and have the sound length so it ends just when the abm starts it again...

this code works ok
use pos to play sound in certain area

[aximx51v]

got it. i call:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

noise = minetest.sound_play("grav_gen",{pos = pos, gain = 0.5, loop = true, max_hear_distance = 15})

to start the sound, and then i call

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.sound_stop(noise)

to stop it.
i'm using a mono channel ogg file, btw..
thanks for the input guys, it's working!
