Could this be improved so that a longer sound effect plays in full when the enemy spots the player? I've tried making the enemy invisible and using sound effects to play a small section of plot dialog or BGM needed for a specific chapter when he spots the player, which seems like a good idea, but I've run into a problem where the sound effect in play stops playing if you're too far away from the enemy ..........
I've tried decorating and the triggered sound effects have the same problem
I've tried using triggers and had the same problem with them still interrupting playback when I'm far away, one problem with triggers is that they can be re-triggered, if I walk back and forth on top of the trigger I'll hear overlapping sounds that didn't finish playing, and doing storyline conversations that are usually only used 1 time doesn't seem to be very well suited to triggers
What version are you using?
Triggers are only supposed to activate once, so it sounds like you're experiencing a bug.
Also, do the sounds interrupt when you get far away, or does it only happen if other sounds are played after it (weapon firing, enemy sounds, etc..)
I'm only able to encounter the interrupting audio issue if many other sounds are played after the trigger is activated, so if that's the same issue, it'll be fixed in the next alpha build.
