I have a rather stupid question? why don't they use something similar to what we all hear in real life? that is, the closer you get to a wall, the stronger the echo of the surrounding soundscape will get (along with a corresponding change in pitch of the white noise in said environment). this near wall warning seems like its a little too arbitrary (one step away and it sounds? you can hear a wall in real life a lot further away than 1 step).
I know, it sounds stupid, but thats how I hear the world. btw, I don't play a lot of FPS games as I am on a mac. I used to play WoW before 5 months ago before the last of my eyesight went away. so I am not unfamiliar with computer FPS and MMO games. -Eric On Dec 9, 2010, at 5:46 AM, Phil Vlasak wrote: > Hi Thomas, > One thing to consider, the GMA engine does collision detection one step > before hitting a wall.
