3d Sound Won't Play???

[Radicool]

So I want to play a 3d sound at a point when a unit casts an ability. Problem is, the sound doesn't play. What's strange, is this sound works as a 2d sound (after unticking the 3d sound box) and every other 3d sound in my map with the same properties plays without a problem.

I've tried using an .mp3 and a .wav file with varying bit rates.

Here's the actions:

• Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
• Sound - Play Defibrillator_Shock <gen> at 100.00% volume, located at TempPoint with Z offset 0.00

Sound Properties:

You might have to edit it in a sound editor like Audacity. It's been a while since I did this so I don't know the exact settings, but I think it had something to do with it being mono instead of stereo.

Ahh, yes it's working now thanks. My sound was a stereo. After I converted it to mono, it worked. I suppose it makes sense that a 3d sound must be mono. Real life sounds don't emit stereo sound, they source from a single point.

Also, it's recommended to use .wav for short sounds, as they load faster.
