Attacking sound

[Shayota]

How do i make a trigger that plays a certain sound when it attacks for a certain unit. For example, i want the snipers only for every player in the map to play the sound i have set up for it.

I don't think you can change attack sounds in the object editor.
As far as I remember you can only change the attack type which results in a different sound.

The easiest solution would be:

Event: Unit is attacked
Condition: Attack unit = ChoseYourself
Actions: Play sound at position of attacking unit.

But the problem is that the event "is attacked" triggers when the unit starts attacking not when the target is actually hit.

I know, im trying to figure out how to get a sound to play when a unit attacks. The problem with your solution (correct me if im wrong) is that if i choose a unit it has to be a unit the map, and i want this unit to play the sound for everyone who has the unit. It wont let me attach the sound to the unit itself, it would only attach if the unit was on the map, and it would only work for that unit.

ACtually nevermind i got it, but when i got a bunch of them attacking, it only plays 1 animation, how can i make it so it plays all of the sounds . Meaning, if i have 12 firebats and they attack at different times i want 12 sounds to be played at the time, whats happening is 6 willl attack within 2 seconds at different points but it only plays 1 sound.

That is unfortunately not possible with playing the sound via trigger, the thing is the sounds played via triggers can only be referenced one at a time, you'd have to actually replace the in game attack sound with the sound you wanted.

Umm, How do i replace the ingame attack sound? I dont see anything inside the sound editor to do that

O god i figured it out, when i had some unit sounds replaced for example the ghoul, ghouls dont have an attack sound because there melee. So i should give my custom units, unit sounds that sound from ranged units.
