Editing unit's attack & moving sounds

[Wayshan]

Hello,

In the classic settings the game plays:

• Yes sound when you issue an order targeting a point - patrol, move or attack ground
• YesAttack sound when you issue an order targeting enemy unit

I need to somehow edit this settings for I need unit to make yesattack sound when I issue the attack ground order (which is considered as an order targeting a point and thefore gives you the yes sound).

Any ideas fellas?

You can reimport the ground attack sounds as regular yes attack sounds by overwriting their original sound path. This old tutorial may give you a nudge in that direction: Creating Custom Sound Sets

Otherwise play the sound manually for the owner of the unit whenever it's ordered to attack ground.

Hey, thx for the input =) I know how to edit sounds, but I want to keep my regular YesSound for the situation when it is fitting. I just don't see why devs didnt considered attack ground command as an attack.. But whatever ^^

Can you make me some short preview in GUI how that could work? I mean how do I mute the classical response, and more importantly - how to force the game random attack sound instead of one repeatedly (there are 3-5 attack sounds and I want to use them all, not just one)

I mean how do I mute the classical response

You can't, you'd have to overwrite the default yes sounds with blank files so they wouldn't play. Then reimport all the yes and yesattacks you do want to use and set up a trigger that detects when units of the right type are ordered to do point/enemy target orders and then play them randomly.
