How to make the game play a sound for a local player only

HOW TO MAKE THE GAME PLAY A SOUND FOR A LOCAL PLAYER ONLY?? ill be on later tonight. but an answer would be nice. i use GUI and i think i have to use Custom Script or JASS. can someone help me with this.

well, it's basically

 if GetLocalPlayer () == InsertJASSPlayerHere then

<GUI or JASS action that doesn't desync (more on this later)>

endif

I need to know what the custom script is if it uses that. And how do i set the player number.. do i put it inbetween the brackets?

but mostly, how do i get it to play the sound, only for that player..

I think the custom code is something like call GetLocalPlayer() but I am not sure.

Also I remember that is was supposed to bug in soem way :/

<GUI or JASS action that doesn't desync (more on this later)>

endif

The non-desyncing actions include:
-Vertex Shading
-Animations
-Sounds
-Fade Filters
-Text Displays
-Text Tag Creation
-Text Tag Visibility/Text Display
-Multiboard Display/Values
(there might be more)
(Ty to Taur of my clan for this )

i know it is getlocalplayer thing... but how do i make it where it plays a specific sound that only that person hear.

if GetLocaPlayer() == whichPlayer then
    call PlaySound(whatever)
endif

You can also use it with GUI. So just use customscript for the if and endif and insert the Play Sound function between them.

Dont do it, its risky and causes desync, i tired to make music system out of it, it only made desync and disc players. Its risky. there is way by changing volume of music, but mine bugged by the music not playing after its played once, maybe it wont bug for you, suggestion of chagnging volume was originally by deuterium as he told me my first option might cause sound desync, and it caused even more than that... a disc!

Then you simply made it wrong.
Local sounds are possible, dota uses them too
Afaik you have to set the volume to 0, then for a local player to 100

Yeah might be, I have never tested it. But the same goes for fade filters; you have to create them for all and set it's alpha to 0, and for the local player to 100.

Very green to the hive and map making, but I got local sounds by replacing sounds used by the quest log updates. Limit though.

You can play a sound locally.
You can not make a sound locally.

A sound is a type of handle object, thus has a handle reference. If you make it locally it messes up the sync in the handle system of WC3 and can cause out of sync stuff to occur and thus a split.
You can however play a sound locally for one player as long as the sound being played was made for all players.
