playSound3D not respecting speed of sound
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If you execute playSound3D globally (so local = false) on a client, where the position of the sound is about 330 m away, the client will hear the sound delayed by about 1 second. This is expected and wanted.
However, all other clients will hear the sound immediately, regardless of their position.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Make a mission, connect two clients.
  2. Give one Zeus access and move the camera further away.
  3. Run playSound3D ["A3\Sounds_F\weapons\Grenades\handgrenade_drops\handg_drop_Metal_1.wss", objNull, false, getPosASL player, 5, 1, 1000, 0, false].

Maximum distance does not make a difference.

Additional Information

There is a workaround:

[["A3\Sounds_F\weapons\Grenades\handgrenade_drops\handg_drop_Metal_1.wss", objNull, false, getPosASL player, 5, 1, 1000, 0, true]] remoteExecCall ["playSound3D", 0]

It does the job, but it would be nice to have the command work properly.
