Changing a unit's Weapon Sound

[Sunchips]

So in the properties of each unit there is a line:
Combat - Attack x - Weapon Sound - (example) Metal Medium Slice

is it possible to change this on a unit in the game using triggers or functions?

You could detect a unit to be attacking and then play a 3d sound, but you can't change the unit's attack sound natively, sorry.

You could set the weapon sound to none, detect the basic attack doing damage, and then damage the target for 0 damage using
UnitDamageTarget takes unit whichUnit, widget target, real amount, boolean attack, boolean ranged, attacktype attackType, damagetype damageType, weapontype weaponType returns boolean
You could load the weaponType from a variable, it determines the sound.

There is a system for detecting basic attack damage in the jass forum.
