AudioEmitter is a helper object derived from X3DAUDIO_EMITTER used by SoundEffectInstance's Apply3D method.

See AudioListener.

Initialization

The default constructor creates a point emitter located at 0,0,0 facing +z and an up vector of +y for a mono source.

Helpers

In addition to setting the members of X3DAUDIO_EMITTER directly, these helper functions are provided:

• SetPosition (FXVMECTOR) or (XMFLOAT3)

Sets the Position of the emitter.

• SetVelocity (FXMVECTOR) or (XMFLOAT3)

Sets the Velocity of the emitter.

• SetOrientation (FXMVECTOR forward, FXVMECTOR up) or (XMFLOAT3 forward, XMFLOAT3 up)
• SetOrientationFromQuaternion ( FXMVECTOR )

Sets the OrientFront/OrientTop of the emitter.

• Update ( FXMVECTOR newPos, XMVECTOR upDir, float dt )

Computes a direction and velocity for the emitter based on the existing Position and the newPos, updating the OrientFront/OrientTop to match, and then setting the Position to the newPos. If dt is 0, the update is skipped.
