colshape alternative for sound detection?

[GhostXoP]

Is there a way or an event that triggers if within range of a sound? Like, an event triggers when someone fires a gun within 20 feet of the element? I would plant a colshape that lasted for a half a second around the person firing a gun using on ped or player weapon fire event, but it wouldnt work as users must "enter" the colshape to trigger the colshape event, if you plant the colshape over an element, while the element is within the colshape, the element must leave and reenter the colshape to trigger the event, Or is that not true?

I think that you can use the weapon fire event plus the function to calculate the distance.

onClientPlayerWeaponFire

getDistanceBetweenPoints3D

A good idea, but how would this trigger the event to the player listening?

[Castillo]

addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerWeaponFire", root, 
    function ( ) 
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition ( source ) 
        local lx, ly, lz = getElementPosition ( localPlayer ) 
        local distance = getDistanceBetweenPoints3D ( x, y, z, lx, ly, lz ) 
        outputChatBox ( getPlayerName ( source ) .." fired a weapon at distance: ".. distance ) 
    end 
) 

Test that, I don't know if it'll work.
