[Trigger] How to play sound when an ability is used?

[Maga99]

i would like to know how to make a sound play when a certain ability is used i've tried alot that have failed

i tried using the sound thing on object editor but it don't bring up custom sounds

Hmm, I belive that there is a sound section in GUI triggers.


The thing to do would be.

• Unit Casts an ability
• Ability being cast = (yourability)
• Play sound (yoursound)

How do you import triggers into posts??

First you need to go into the sound editor and define which sound you want to play and add it to the right then:

• Event Unit Finishes/Begins casting/chanelling an ability
• Condition Ability being cast equal to yourspellname
• Action Play sound on casting unit 100% volume

You should play the sound on the casting unit cause that causes a feeling that the soun is coming from the spell and not from everywhere,also try using 3D sounds.

Is that not what I said?

It is kinda obvious it should be from casting unit.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Ability
• Actions
  • Sound - Play <SOUND> at 100.00% volume, attached to (Casting unit)

Rightclick the trigger name and press Copy as Text.

Then paste that into the

• tags.

You are right i only wanted to mention that he first needs to asign a custom sound in the sound editor just in case he haven't done it.

Override an ingame sound, like Abilitys/Spells/Human/Avatar/Avatar (what path might look like, I'm just spitballin cause my pc is broken), and then theres somthing for most abiltys, like ability sound effect, and change it to avatar.
