How to add song before the map loads like in DotA ?

[DJAB]

In DotA, the song "Storm,Earth, and fire" is played before the map loads, like when the players join in. How do you do that ? How is that even possible ? Is that triggered ? Whats the event ? Please explain !

It's within the config function then, which is fired in lobby. I did this too before but it sometimes crashed. Dunno if anyone investigated further.

Config where ? Where is Config located ? I didn't get what you said.
Please explain more.

The normal editor does not give you the opportunity to modify it openly. config and main function are the two basic functions every map is supposed to have. config contains information about the player setup, forces etc., is run in lobby. main is activated during loadscreen, does some default functionality like setting of camera borders, light environment, creates preplaced objects, starts the blizzard.j and finally initializes your triggers.

You can see both config and main in the editor by causing a syntax error, then scrolling to the bottom of the compile error window.

In JNGP, vJass offers

//! inject config
//! endinject

analogue for main

to integrate custom lines in those functions.
