BWG Proximity Event Sounds for RPG Maker MZ
A downloadable tool
Enhance Your Game's Immersive Experience with Proximity Sounds!
Bring your RPG Maker MZ projects to life with the BWG Proximity Sound Plugin! This powerful plugin allows you to add dynamic sounds that play based on the player's proximity to events, making your game world feel more interactive and immersive. The closer you get to the sound source, the louder it gets!
Key Features:
- Proximity-Based Sounds: Play sounds as players approach specific events, adding depth and realism to your game environment.
- Permanent and Temporary Sounds: Set up permanent sounds via notetags or use plugin commands to dynamically add or remove sounds during gameplay.
- Customizable Parameters: Fine-tune the radius, volume, falloff, looping, and panning of each sound to perfectly match your game's atmosphere.
- Smooth Transitions: Enable falloff for smooth volume transitions, preventing abrupt changes in sound intensity.
- Panning Support: Add directionality to your sounds with panning, making it clear where sounds are coming from in your game world.
- Debug Mode: Easily troubleshoot and fine-tune your sound setup with optional console logging.
How It Works:
Permanent Proximity Sounds via Notetags:
Add the following notetag to an event's note field to set up a proximity sound:
<PS>radius: 5; file: Fire1; maxVolume: 1.0; falloff: true; loop: true; panning: true</PS>
Examples:
- River Sound:
<PS>radius: 5; file: river</PS>
- Fire Sound:
<PS>radius: 3; file: fire; maxVolume: 0.8; falloff: false; panning: false</PS>
- Wind Sound:
<PS>radius: 7; file: wind; maxVolume: 0.5; falloff: true; loop: false; panning: true</PS>
Make sure the specified sound file (e.g., "river.ogg") is in the audio/bgs directory.
Temporary Proximity Sounds via Plugin Commands:
Use the following plugin commands to dynamically set up and stop proximity sounds during the game:
- Set Proximity Sound:
- Arguments: radius, soundfile, maxVolume, falloff, loop, panning.
- Example: Set up a proximity sound for the current event with specific parameters.
- Stop Proximity Sound:
- Stops the proximity sound for the current event.
With this your player could for example light up a fireplace at runtime, and then hear the ambient sound of a crackling wooden log.

for some reason the plugin commands will not work.
the notes work fine, by the way the examples you have on this page are messed up, they need this... <PS> </PS>
Hi,
you were completely right! Thank you for bringing the issues to my attention. I uploaded a bugfixed version today.
Quick explanation: When optimizing the loading of the sound files i added a new function to preload the audio when the map is entered. During that I removed the loading of new files on runtime - completely forgetting that sometimes we need new files. Now it should work.
My bad!

Would it be possible to have permanent sounds only become active when the event itself is active? Or to have multiple sounds assigned to the same event?
I just now released an update with the changes you need. I hope this helps~

Greetings, i have a question! Is this plugin compatible with Visustella's Core ones?
Yes! (And it was a pain to debug the initial incompatibility!) 😁
