Listener
========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Spatial<class_Spatial>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Overrides the location sounds are heard from.

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

Once added to the scene tree and enabled using :ref:`make_current<class_Listener_method_make_current>`, this node will override the location sounds are heard from. This can be used to listen from a location different from the :ref:`Camera<class_Camera>`.

**Note:** There is no 2D equivalent for this node yet.

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

.. _class_Listener_method_clear_current:

- void **clear_current** **(** **)**

Disables the listener to use the current camera's listener instead.

----

.. _class_Listener_method_get_listener_transform:

- :ref:`Transform<class_Transform>` **get_listener_transform** **(** **)** const

Returns the listener's global orthonormalized :ref:`Transform<class_Transform>`.

----

.. _class_Listener_method_is_current:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_current** **(** **)** const

Returns ``true`` if the listener was made current using :ref:`make_current<class_Listener_method_make_current>`, ``false`` otherwise.

**Note:** There may be more than one Listener marked as "current" in the scene tree, but only the one that was made current last will be used.

----

.. _class_Listener_method_make_current:

- void **make_current** **(** **)**

Enables the listener. This will override the current camera's listener.
