Hi I wish to have panning info sent to my listener on the 3rd person camera and attenuation data being calculated based on the characters position. Is there a simple solution to this? I must stress that my C# implementation skills are quite basic so enhanced details would be appreciated.
Cheers

You will have to drive the listeners values manually to do this, instead of using a [FMOD Studio Listener component](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-unity?version=2.0&page=game-components.html#studio-listener).
- You will need to make your own script that calls [Studio::System::setListenerAttributes](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=studio-api-system.html#studio_system_setlistenerattributes).
- This function takes an `FMOD.ATTRIBUTES_3D` which is the same as [FMOD\_3D\_ATTRIBUTES](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=core-api-common.html#fmod_3d_attributes).
- `FMOD_3D_ATTRIBUTES` has members for: position, velocity, forward and up. You can then drive those how ever you wish.
For example:
```
GameObject player, camera;
FMOD.ATTRIBUTES_3D attributes = new FMOD.ATTRIBUTES_3D();
void Update()
{
attributes.position = FMODUnity.RuntimeUtils.ToFMODVector(player.transform.position);
attributes.forward = FMODUnity.RuntimeUtils.ToFMODVector(camera.transform.forward);
attributes.up = FMODUnity.RuntimeUtils.ToFMODVector(camera.transform.up);
FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.StudioSystem.setListenerAttributes(0, attributes);
}
```
