A sound when people enter

[hasty adder]

I usually have my Spatial world open on a 3rd monitor but I can 't always watch it to see when people join. It would be nice if there were a sound to notify me when people come in. How would I make that happen in Unity? Would I add a trigger, or something, at the entry point when they land on it?

untested but should work fine , let me know if you have issues . @hasty adder

Quick Setup:

1. Create a New Script:

   • Name it ActorJoinSoundNotification.cs.

2. Attach the Script:

   • Attach the script to an empty GameObject in your scene.

3. Add Audio Source:

   • Ensure the GameObject has an AudioSource component. The script adds one if missing.

4. Set Audio Mixer (For Spatial):

   • In the AudioSource component, set the Audio Mixer property to ensure it plays correctly in Spatial.

5. Assign Sound:

   • Drag and drop your desired sound file into the joinSound field in the Unity Inspector.

6. Done!

   • Now, whenever someone joins your Spatial world, you'll hear the sound.

Here's another option. This package contains a prefab, named EntraceAudioController, that uses Visual Scripting. All you (should) need to do is:

• Drag and drop the prefab into your scene hierarchy
• In the prefab's Audio Source, change the audio clip to something of your liking
• Republish your space

The included audio is a clip I extracted from one my streams many years ago; free to use for anyone lol

First screenshot is the contents of the Unity package; second screenshot is the EntranceAudioController's inspector, where you can see the boioioing audio clip is assigned (this is what you'd change).

Thank you!

[hasty adder]

This works perfectly

[sour vector]

Yay! Glad to hear it.

The only thing I'd add to it would be a UI to toggle the sound on/off.

[hasty adder]

You mean for the visitors? Because I want to hear it every time someone enters. Do the visitors hear it too?

[sour vector]

Visitors will not hear it.

[hasty adder]

oh good

For you, in the event you get some knuckleheads continually refreshing the page

[hasty adder]

Well, I can ban the knuckleheads right?

[sour vector]

Yep!

[hasty adder]

Yay

I am sure I will be upgrading soon as I am very impressed with the help you guys provide

In fact, I'm upgrading now

Wait, there is no Paypal option to upgrade?

Or am I missing something

I am not comfortable with giving my credit card

[sour vector]

Understandable. I do not believe the payment provider Spatial uses has a Paypal option.

[hasty adder]

well tell the devs to fix that hahah

[sour vector]

lol will do

[hasty adder]

when it's an option I'll upgrade. I'm not sure if it's a percentage issue, but something will be better than nothing. Even if I have to pay a higher rate to use Paypal, I will. And if I am forced to use my credit card in the long run, I probably will. But I won't be happy about it. I think Spatial wants happy customers.

[sour vector]

Ha, yes, happy customers are a good thing for everyone

[hasty adder]

I've paid with a credit card because I believe that what you guys are doing will be great. But I'd still be happier if there were a paypal option. 🙂

[sour vector]

I do hope to see more options for payments in the future. I am not sure if others were ever considered in the past but I have shared your Paypal preference with the team.

The platform is amazing and I'm really glad you're enjoying it.

Ok I think I'll be leaving you guys alone, mostly, from now on. You've helped me get to the point where I wanted to be. I'll keep checking in on the discord and if I can help anybody else with what I've learned I will. Thank you, again, for all your help!
