So what I want to do is to add an effect to several events when a player is wearing a mask (for example jumping, hurt-sounds, etc).
The client can either wear the mask or he can not (depends on what the client chooses in the options). I thought the best way to do that is to group all events that are affected and then use a snapshot that adds the effect (its an eq, a compressor and a send) to that group.
So if a client uses a mask the snapshot is applied and when he puts the mask away the snapshot is turned off.
The problem is (for example with two clients):
If my character is wearing a mask, and your character is not, then I will hear the mask-effect. If I take off my mask, and you keep yours on, I won’t hear your mask-effect anymore.

Hi jojojo,
It sounds like the snapshot is being used when _any_ character puts their mask on rather than just the player’s character.
You will need to have some game code to check whether the player’s character is wearing a mask and to ignore any other players.
Thanks,
Richard
