Description

Sets the spread angle (in degrees) of a 3d stereo or multichannel sound in speaker space.

0 = all sound channels are located at the same speaker location and is 'mono'. 360 = all subchannels are located at the opposite speaker location to the speaker location that it should be according to 3D position. Default = 0.

    // when any AudioSource goes trough this transform, it will set it as 'mono'
    // and will restore the value to 3D effect after exiting
    // Make sure the audio source has a collider.
    function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider) {
        var audio = other.GetComponent.<AudioSource>();

if(audio) audio.spread = 0; }

function OnTriggerExit(other : Collider) { var audio = other.GetComponent.<AudioSource>();

if(audio) audio.spread = 360; }
