A radio in a room should become quieter as the player moves away and should sound as if it comes from the radio's position. Which AudioSource configuration is appropriate?
AudioListener on the radio.
34
A scene reports that two active AudioListener components exist, and sounds behave unpredictably. What is the usual correction for a single-player game?
35 A follow camera updates before the player completes its movement, causing visible jitter. Where should the camera's follow-position update usually occur?
OnDisable(), when the camera stops rendering
Awake(), before the player object becomes active
LateUpdate(), after the player's regular movement update
OnGUI(), after the interface has processed input
36 A perspective camera should show more of the surrounding environment without moving farther from the player. Which change is most direct?
37 A sampled normal-map texture is connected directly to a Lit Shader Graph, but lighting appears incorrect. Which node should normally process the texture before it reaches the Normal input?
Posterize node
Normal Unpack node
Boolean node
Scene Color node
38 A sci-fi panel should glow and create a halo when bloom is enabled. Which Shader Graph output should receive an HDR color multiplied by a strength value?
39 Two enabled Cinemachine virtual cameras have different priorities. Assuming no special override is active, which camera controls the final view?
40 A Cinemachine camera must follow a player while always aiming at a separate boss object. How should the virtual camera references be assigned?
41 A runtime object must be reparented under a transform that has non-uniform scale, but its world position, rotation, and apparent scale must initially remain unchanged. Which operation best expresses this requirement?
transform.SetParent(newParent, true) and retain the world-space transform
transform.parent = newParent and set the local scale to one
transform.SetParent(newParent, false) and retain the local-space transform
transform.parent = newParent and reset the local rotation
42 A ray is defined by , and a plane contains point with unit normal . Assuming , which expression gives the ray parameter at the intersection?
43 A mesh is transformed by a matrix containing non-uniform scale. Which transformation correctly converts a local-space surface normal into world space?
