Vectoring Sound?

Aren't you able to make sounds that are only heard in one area? Like the odd temple sounds on Lost Temple? If that's the case, then you should be able to limit the sounds to a certain area. If that area can only be limited to a sphere, where the sound is heard only if you are within a certain radius of a given point, then you could put several such spheres throughought the higher elevation points of your map.

I've never messed with this, so I'm just guessing, but I do know that some maps have sounds that are point-sourced and only can be heard within a certain distance of the source.

I can't even get regular sounds to work... i dont understand all the variables for the sound sphere stuff. somebody explain please

He is referring to the non-global sounds [because I don't think vectoring is supposed to work with global sounds...if it works at all], but I couldn't figure out how to get the sound vectoring to work either. Basically, once you create a non-global audio-emitter, there are variables that appear to allow you to set a 'cone' that the sound can be projected into. Never worked for me though .

Sounds like a job for Super Zear!

Hate to dissappoint, but I could never get the cone crap to work either - spent a whole day on it while doing the tutorial...

Yeah, that's what I figured. I was trying to avoid placing a bunch of emitters, because of a high flight ceiling. Maybe it only works with certain 'vectorable' sounds, if they haven't cut them out that is. Thanx anyway, guys.

PS. I was wanting to create layers of sound, so the wind would get louder the higher you went. I think I would go insane before accomplishing this with a boatload of emitters.
