TX2D 3.1.5 Beta - Sound Distance Error - Resolved

by Will O-Reagan · in Torque X 2D · 06/07/2010 (9:55 pm) · 2 replies

Build: 3.1.5 Beta.

Platform: Windows or Xbox 360

Target: In Game, Windows or Xbox 360

Issues: Game throws error when setting sound Distance variable. Its probably a bug, because distance variables are clamped by XNA I think, and this worked before the update.

Steps to Repeat:
1. Start new "PlatformerDemo" Project
2. Right Click on starter demo solution, add project, Add 3.15 Pro, no GUI
3. Change references to from TXCore and TX2D, to the 3.15 core and TX2D
4. Run program, and find a "Drill actor", soon an error will occur where the distance variable thrown. (possibly on killing the drill actor, or it falling into water or something.)


Suggested Fix: Modify drill actor

    We have already fixed this bug and it will ship with new installers at the end of the month. Until then here is the fix:

    In DrillActorComponent change the following

    Line 31
    From:
    if(motorSound != null)
    To:
    if(motorSound != null && motorSound.IsPlaying)

    Make the same change on line 40

    Then on line 85
    From:
    if (motorSound != null)
_motorSound.Stop(AudioStopOptions.AsAuthored);
    To:
    if (motorSound != null)
{
if (_motorSound.IsPlaying)
_motorSound.Stop(AudioStopOptions.AsAuthored);

_motorSound = null;
}

    Ok that works, I needed to make those changes anyways for some of my other functions to work with the drill.
