Quick Start Sample Integration - 3D Positions

3D Position Example

The sound engine lets you set 3D positions on game objects so the sounds they emit appear to come from the right direction with the correct speed and orientation.

The following code sets a static position on a game object:

If you play the engine sound in the sample program, you will hear it at the front-right because of the position it was set to.

Refer to Integration Details - 3D Positions for more information.

Note: This sample code comes from the Sound Engine Integration Sample Project available in the Samples section. Refer to Integration Demo Sample for more information.
