Imported sounds not working?

[Abelhawk]

Hey, I'm finally starting to adapt to some of the changes with this newish World Editor, but one thing I can't figure out is how to play imported sounds. Here's my process:

1. I import an mp3 sound file
2. I click on it and click Use as Sound
3. I make sure it's not a 3D sound
4. I make a trigger that plays the sound
5. No sound is heard.

Bonus Question: Why can't I rename sounds anymore? Now when I do so, the World Editor yells at me about "undeclared variables" with gg_snd_ something.

Ok I'll tell you what I did recently, and it works really well.
Wanted a Bell sound for when people leak in my TD.
- Created the sound as mp3 under audacity.
- Inported it in my map with this path : "Sound\Bell.mp3"
- In Trigger editor, added a global sound variable called Leak
- At Map initialization, I init the sound like this :

    set udg_Leak = CreateSound( "Sound\\Bell.mp3", false, false, false, 10, 10, "DefaultEAXON" )
    call SetSoundDuration( udg_Leak, 2163 )
    call SetSoundChannel( udg_Leak, 8 )
    call SetSoundVolume( udg_Leak, 80 )
    call SetSoundPitch( udg_Leak, 1.0 )

I set the volume to 80 because I didn't want it to become really unpleasant, but you'd probably want it set to 127.


And whenever a player leaks, I then simply use :

    call StartSound(udg_Leak)

And trust me it works flawlessly, and no need to use the Sound Editor at all
