ak.soundengine.setMultiplePositions


Set multiple positions for a single game object. Setting multiple positions for a single game object is a way to simulate multiple emission sources while using the resources of only one voice. This can be used to simulate wall openings, area sounds, or multiple objects emitting the same sound in the same area. See AK::SoundEngine::SetMultiplePositions.
