Adding sound to a basic attack.

[Flesterage]

• Sniper Sound against unit
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Ghost
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.03 seconds
    • Sound - Play rifle <gen> at 90.00% volume, attached to (Attacking unit)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds

When the unit starts to attack without being in range it does the rifle sound. How can I trigger this so that it does the sound only when the Ghost (marine sniper) shoots?

change the event
event - unit issued targeting an (object) (you must make conditions so that the game doesnt crash because of an infinity loop)
or
event - unit starts channeling an ability (condition its attack)

thats the way i know, though im not sure of it.

I tried them and it doesnt work since my attack is not an ability (its just a sniper shooting his gun)

I also wanted to know how to make an ability the main attackof a unit. ex: a zombie attacks which casts automatically the ability.

 

[HamzahA]

hmm do you use the normal attack?

 

[Flesterage]

Well i have an ability that gives the marine his rifle with a missile effect. I guess its an ability then but it doesnt work when i trigger it like an ability.

 

[HamzahA]

is it triggered or made from searing arrows )

 

[Flesterage]

I used an orb ability to create my weapon ability. I added a missile to this orb ability and i change the model from the orb to the sniper rifle.

you can try to add a condition (if distance between the two units is less than (the attacking unit's range) then do so and so..)
