[General] 3d Sound not playing on unit and location

[Fakuspakus]

• Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
• Set tempLoc = (Position of Caster)
• Set tempGroup = (Units within 200.00 of tempLoc matching (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True))
• Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
• Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Neutral Hostile at tempLoc facing Default building facing degrees
• Sound - Play ImpaleHit <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to (Last created unit)
• -------------------------------------------------------

I am using sound ImpaleHit from sound manager, I didn't edit anything in it, its set to 3d yet when I try to play this sound on dummy or tempLoc I can't hear any impale sound. Why is that?

Do you play any other sounds around that same time? I'm pretty sure only 1 sound can be played at the same time when creating sounds with triggers. And after testing it, it seems like playing 2 or more sounds at around the same time causes ALL of the sounds to stop playing.

Anyway, I attached a map with a neat little setup you can use for playing sounds. It's probably not the best solution but if you're already going to use a dummy unit anyway then i'm sure it's fine.

I create a dummy unit and order it to cast either Locust Swarm or Windwalk. The Locust Swarm ability is for Looping Sounds and the Windwalk ability is for One Shot Sounds.

You can copy and paste these abilities and set your own Effect Sounds. Also change the duration of Locust Swarm to be however long you want the Looping Sound to play.

Note: Locust Swarm was the only instant-channeling ability that I could find that would play a Looping Sound. If you know of another one you can use that ability instead.

Unless somethings changed with recent patches, you can't play "same sound" multiple times. Also attempting to play a sound for second time while first one is not finished was doing nothing instead of stop first sound playing.

It stops the first sound (maybe a bug with 1.31). I just tested again using a 3d sound. When I play it once -> it works. When I play it again before the first sound finishes -> both sounds stop and you can't play that sound again until the sound "finishes" playing (even though it's muted).

This action plays a sound that is already attached. Before this line, you need to attach the sound to the position (in this case, last created unit).
I think the action is something like: Sound- Attach sound to ABC.
Then, you use that action you have written there, and it should work.
