Positional sound seems no to work?!

Hey guys,

I've been playing around with positional sounds today. So what I did was actually creating a new scene that's really high.
Then I have my actor which can fly up and controls the camera. Somewhere high up in the scene I have an actor playing a sound, I checked the positional sound box in order to hear the sound when coming closer to the actor. But I hear
the sound from the beginning on and it seems that there is no change in volume. I also checked on loop function.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Cheers Alex

    Positional sound is more of a "what direction it's coming from" than a "how far away" function. You can control the volume by using magnitude (distance) to determine how far the actor is away from the sound actor, and then control the volume through that.

    Ah okay, using the distance was the second idea I had. I just didn't really know what positional sound means, but thx for the explanation.

    Have a great evening!

    How would one set up this magnitude distance? I have in volume control Magnitude(x,y) but not sure what the XY values should be
