AudioStreamPlayer3D
===================

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node3D<class_Node3D>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Plays positional sound in 3D space.

Description
-----------

Plays a sound effect with directed sound effects, dampens with distance if needed, generates effect of hearable position in space. For greater realism, a low-pass filter is automatically applied to distant sounds. This can be disabled by setting :ref:`attenuation_filter_cutoff_hz<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_attenuation_filter_cutoff_hz>` to ``20500``.

By default, audio is heard from the camera position. This can be changed by adding a :ref:`AudioListener3D<class_AudioListener3D>` node to the scene and enabling it by calling :ref:`AudioListener3D.make_current<class_AudioListener3D_method_make_current>` on it.

See also :ref:`AudioStreamPlayer<class_AudioStreamPlayer>` to play a sound non-positionally.

\ **Note:** Hiding an ``AudioStreamPlayer3D`` node does not disable its audio output. To temporarily disable an ``AudioStreamPlayer3D``'s audio output, set :ref:`unit_db<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_unit_db>` to a very low value like ``-100`` (which isn't audible to human hearing).

Determines which :ref:`Area3D<class_Area3D>` layers affect the sound for reverb and audio bus effects. Areas can be used to redirect :ref:`AudioStream<class_AudioStream>`\ s so that they play in a certain audio bus. An example of how you might use this is making a "water" area so that sounds played in the water are redirected through an audio bus to make them sound like they are being played underwater.

+-----------+---------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_emission_angle(value) |

----

.. _class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_emission_angle_enabled:

+-----------+-----------------------------------+
| *Default* | ``false``                         |

----

.. _class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_emission_angle_filter_attenuation_db:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **emission_angle_filter_attenuation_db**

+-----------+-------------------------------------------------+
| *Default* | ``-12.0``                                       |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_emission_angle_filter_attenuation_db(value) |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_emission_angle_filter_attenuation_db()      |
+-----------+-------------------------------------------------+

Dampens audio if camera is outside of :ref:`emission_angle_degrees<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_emission_angle_degrees>` and :ref:`emission_angle_enabled<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_emission_angle_enabled>` is set by this factor, in decibels.

+-----------+-------------------------+

The distance past which the sound can no longer be heard at all. Only has an effect if set to a value greater than ``0.0``. :ref:`max_distance<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_max_distance>` works in tandem with :ref:`unit_size<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_unit_size>`. However, unlike :ref:`unit_size<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_unit_size>` whose behavior depends on the :ref:`attenuation_model<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_attenuation_model>`, :ref:`max_distance<class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_max_distance>` always works in a linear fashion. This can be used to prevent the ``AudioStreamPlayer3D`` from requiring audio mixing when the listener is far away, which saves CPU resources.

+-----------+------------------------+

+-----------+--------------+
| *Default* | ``false``    |
+-----------+--------------+

----

.. _class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_unit_db:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **unit_db**

+-----------+--------------------+
| *Default* | ``0.0``            |
+-----------+--------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_unit_db(value) |
+-----------+--------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_unit_db()      |
+-----------+--------------------+

The base sound level unaffected by dampening, in decibels.

----

.. _class_AudioStreamPlayer3D_property_unit_size:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **unit_size**

+-----------+----------------------+
| *Default* | ``10.0``             |
+-----------+----------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_unit_size(value) |
+-----------+----------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_unit_size()      |
