I downloaded a model with no attack sound effect, so I decided to add my own via GUI. I edited a Rifleman's attack sound, and kept it has 3D, my minimum distance for it is 1, so it is greater than 0. My trigger plays the sound whenever "rifleman" attacks, and the sound is attached to the "rifleman". I even added a text message to appear to make sure it works, and it does. I do not want to edit the sound effects in object editor, because the trigger only plays when the rifleman has a specific type of item, and different sounds will be played when the rifleman has different types of items. If someone knows how to make the 3D sound play in game, plz help. I've placed this post also in the Sound/Music section, but maybe my problem is the trigger, because in Island Defense it is possible to silence and unsilence sounds from being played, so it could be that I need to enable sound effects via trigger?? Thnx

there is a GUI function for playing 3D sound effects... and you can use the Sound Editor to create the variables/use the 3D sounds...

I use that trigger, and the trigger works, because my text message appears, but my 3D sound that is attached to the unit does not play.

have you created the sound variable... and be sure to set 3D-Sound to true... also don't destroy it immediately.

I use the sound itself, havnt tried variable, ill try it, and i dont destroy sound immediately cuz i thought that could be a problem, but it still doesnt play. Also 3D sound is checked for the sound effects.

hmm... don't know what else can cause errors... maybe you can post the map then I'll try to fix it.
