[Trigger] Sound Problems

[~Void~]

Part of this is in vJASS. For some reason this doesn't work at all; I'm not sure why. Can anyone test it out and look at the triggers a bit?

There are 2 mistakes you did.

1.if you would have read the hint at the bottom at the Play Sound GUI function you may would have noticed "Note that a 3D sound must be positiuoned to be played"
Due all your sounds in the sound editor are 3D sounds it wont play anithing
im not sure but i would suggest to use 3D sounds because i can remember thet normal sounds (if you simply uncheck all "3D sound") cannot double, means you gotta wait till its completely played till you cn play the same one again


2. but still nothing will work because your arrays are empty ;D

Your are initializing the Init function which adds the needed action to the trigger t
but .. huh?... wheres the event ?!?! You dont got an event so this SetSounds function will never ever run

to fix that you can add a event.. but better run the trigger directly via initializing

btw -

• (Number of units in (Units in (Playable map area))) (>=) 17

what does units have to do with that? i guess nothing
i guess you meant

• (BeatNumber) (>=) 17

quite funny idea you got

 

[~Void~]

Thanks a lot. Most of this was just stupid mistakes on my part I guess; I don't open the trigger editor too much xD

I have another problem though. Whether I use 3D sounds or regular sounds, for some reason I can't get the loop to play properly.

Could someone please test the map and try to identify the problem?

 

[-JonNny]

Heres the Problem

Im not really familiar with sounds and i never read something
its just my own experience
And as far as i know there can be played one sound at the sime time
only after this sound completely finished (look duration in the sound editor) another one can be played ( i guess even a faster pitch that the sound is shorter does not affect this)

and afaik 3D sounds can be played after the same sound has finished
you can play sound A,B, and C at the same time. but you can play A only after the first A has finished again

To solve this kick blizzards ass or try to import own shorter sounds that you also avoid changing the pitch in the editor

Another option could be (dunno if it works) try to create multiple variables of the same sound for the ones which are played very fast
instead of playing A,A,A,A verxy fast try to play A1,A2,A1,A2 or even with 3
but thats just an idea which may does not even work

See? I have this issue myself quite ago: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/sound-issue-help-133501/
What i've managed to figure out is that the same sound cannot be played in a specified short time space again and again (meaning in a seriate rate); it will be overriding the previous sound. If you have time, http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...mission-thread-131809/index3.html#post1194527 , check it. This is my hero entry. I tried to add this "special effect", that, up to the percentage life of the hero, her heartbeat will beat faster and faster, when percentage get lower. You can see that the sound is not played faster and faster in a row, but one on another, beating at the same time, causing some lag afterwards.

 

[-JonNny]

Hm... ;D got anotheer idea
due Play Sound and Play 3D sound sucks alot
another idea would be playing sounds via models or special effects
I dont know how to add them on you own to a custom model but you can replace ingame sounds and then create a million effects which should all play their sounds without interrupting anything

 

[~Void~]

Hmmmmm... that's a great idea. I'll just create the corresponding effect of each sound when I want it to play, or maybe I could import a bunch of blank models with that sound attached.
