[General] Is there a way to set a rally point without playing the sound?

[MasterBlaster]

Hey,

I've been trying to make a trigger that includes setting a rally point for a unit, but I don't want it to play the rally point sound while at the same time keep the sound when a rally point is set manually by the player. In other words, when that particular trigger sets a rally point = no rally point sound; if a player or any other trigger sets a rally point = rally point sound played.

My logic was that I could use the Sound - Set Volume Channel to reduce the volume of the User Interface sound group sounds to 0% before the rally point is set and then put it back up to 100%, hoping that it would effectively mute the sound for that action. Like this:

• Actions
  • Sound - Set User Interface Sounds to 0.00%
  • Unit - Set Rally-Point for <unit> to <point>
  • Sound - Set User Interface Sounds to 100.00%

The issue is that Sound - Set Volume Channel appears to be reducing the volume over time, which means that if it's used directly before setting the rally point, the volume isn't reduced to 0% yet and the sound plays normally. I've tried looking for an alternate solution, but couldn't find any.

If anyone knows how to do this, a tip would be greatly appreciated!

Replace the internal rally point sound with an empty sound clip and import the rally point sound under a different path, then play it manually whenever you want to hear it. Could be used in conjunction with mouse clicks and some simple conditions.
