dying screams

[rapata]

I am making a map for internet role play based on Hillsbrad Foothills in WoW. I would have liked a starving mountain lion, but as I don't know where to find any lion models I settled for the panther and tiger models I have, which are night elf mounts, of course, without their riders. However, when you kill one of these in combat it screams like a dying elf, which can be disconcerting if you are meant to be an alliance paladin: "Oh no! What have I done?"

So can anyone tell me how to stop it using the death sound from the original model? Or even how to just shut it up with triggers - a silent death would be fine. I have attached the art model to a polar bear base, so it should be growling like a bear, and does, I think, except when it dies. Any advice?

Did you try to change sound set?? Try to changeit to some animal sound set...^^

Well, it is possible to delete the sound of the death, but i dont know how. You could though cover it somehow using triggers.

Events - A unit dies
Conditions -
Actions - Play BearDeath onver dying unit

I know, it can still be heared the dying elf, but better than nothin. (even though if nothing would be better to you ... if u get what i mean ...)

EDIT - Nope. Even if u change sound set the death sound is still the model's one.

Oh well...

I guess that means I am stuck with dying panthers and tigers that scream like elves. Unless someone knows where I can find a lion model......

and if a model always keeps its own death sound, what about imported models generally? Are they always based on Blizzard models that have sets, or are some independent?

I have a lot to learn. Think I will go import an allosaurus and check it out.

The death sounds are Event placed within the model itself.

the death sounds suck...

 

[Kimbo]

thanks for being helpful and constructive.

Sry for saying that the death sounds sux. (they do ... but anyway) i tried to help as much as possible. What you want more ?

My allosaurus (well, Olafmoleman's allosaurus) makes the sounds of the Wendigo I put the model onto, which seem fine. Great model too. I will give credit where due.
