Hi, Is there a way to tell if the listener is facing an object above her? E.g. if you have a dragon flying above you, and you want it to make different sounds when the player is looking up at it… I love using direction for this for sounds on the same vertical level as the player, but haven’t found a way to do it for object above/below the player. Thank you! ---

The [elevation](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/parameters-reference.html#elevation) parameter type is the angle between the direction the [listener](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/glossary.html#listener) is facing and the direction from the listener to the [event instance](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/glossary.html#event-instance) on the vertical (xy) plane. In conjunction with the [direction](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/parameters-reference.html#direction) parameter type that you have already discovered, it can be used to determine whether the listener is looking at an event instance above or below the listener.
