AudioListener2D
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Node2D<class_Node2D>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Overrides the location sounds are heard from.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

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

Once added to the scene tree and enabled using :ref:`make_current()<class_AudioListener2D_method_make_current>`, this node will override the location sounds are heard from. Only one **AudioListener2D** can be current. Using :ref:`make_current()<class_AudioListener2D_method_make_current>` will disable the previous **AudioListener2D**.

If there is no active **AudioListener2D** in the current :ref:`Viewport<class_Viewport>`, center of the screen will be used as a hearing point for the audio. **AudioListener2D** needs to be inside :ref:`SceneTree<class_SceneTree>` to function.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_AudioListener2D_method_clear_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **clear_current**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AudioListener2D_method_clear_current>`

Disables the **AudioListener2D**. If it's not set as current, this method will have no effect.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AudioListener2D_method_is_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_current**\ (\ ) |const| :ref:`🔗<class_AudioListener2D_method_is_current>`

Returns ``true`` if this **AudioListener2D** is currently active.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_AudioListener2D_method_make_current:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

|void| **make_current**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_AudioListener2D_method_make_current>`

Makes the **AudioListener2D** active, setting it as the hearing point for the sounds. If there is already another active **AudioListener2D**, it will be disabled.

This method will have no effect if the **AudioListener2D** is not added to :ref:`SceneTree<class_SceneTree>`.
