Changing volume depending on distance to object?

[Outcast]

In my game i have water at the bottom of the game area and i want the volume of the water to adjust depending on how close or far away the character is. RIght now I have a always event ; set water volume to Y( "character" )-480 , but this dont work so well.. the volume does change when close and moving slowly away, but its very very fast goes from no volume to full volume.. is there a better way to do this?

Thank you very much Nivram! Is it possble to explain the event for a greeny? ( I dont know if it will be a problem if I have more then 1 of the same active that the sound is changing toward? The water is made up by like 10 actives in a row) I dont know anything about Sin Con Pow and all these other signs. :p

100-(Abs(Sqr((X( "Active" )-X( "Active 2" )) pow 2+(Y( "Active" )-Y( "Active 2" )) pow 2)))/3.5

As a suggestion, you can create invisible active objects that trigger sound as well. That way you are only testing one object for your water sound and you can resize it to whatever you need it to be without affecting the visuals.
