Radius Tag for Create Noise

[Syntax]

Currently, create noise is not affected by how far away you get from the object emitting the noise. If I activate a noise from 4000 coordinates away, it sounds like I'm right beside it.

For example, I have code when if I open a door, the door shuts 5 seconds later on its own and emits a creaky door noise. If I run 100 feet away in those 5 seconds, I need that noise to be affected by radius. It's brutal hearing that closing door creak at full volume when I'm so far away.

The command needs a tag to let it act like create sound and be affected by the distance between your avatar and the object emitting the noise.

the entire sound/noise command really needs a bit of a redo. We need so many easy little features that have strangely not been added. We need a volume option, a radius option, and a sort of "smooth" or "fadeout" option specifying if the sound slowly or abruptly goes to 0 volume once the radius is reached. For instance radius=20 smooth would mean a sound would be at full volume when you're right next to it, and fade to 0 volume over 20m. Stuff like this are pretty simple features but they would revolutionist and add so much functionality to aw in terms of handing sound effects

http://forums.activeworlds.com/showthread.php?t=10118 has some things that could be added to this thread, like a general fade. I don't quite understand the purpose of a lack of fading with distance in the first place.

I did noticed those oddities lately but I didn't think much of it. Now that you mention it, I agree we seriously need fading. Lack of fading kills realism, audio-wise.

I second this.
