This is what my trigger looks like.

Not getting any spawn sound :(


  • Unit - A unit Finishes research
  • Grom Hellscream Equal to Altar of Kings
  • Sound - Play GromWarcry1Copy <gen> at 100.00% volume, located at ((Owner of (Researching unit)) start location) with Z offset 0.00

That depends on where your camera is located, your camera have to be close to the start location to hear the sound.
You might not want to use a 3D sound.

Or maybe the sound is not 3D but you try to play it as a 3D sound which would fail.

The Grom variable may be incorrect as well but I can't tell for certain with limited info.
edit: at second glance it's not a variable. Remove the condition and it'll work.

What I'm trying to do is to play a spawn sound only for Grom Hellscream hero when he spawns from the Altar of Storms (I edited that in the triggers already so ignore Altar of Kings).
I extracted the sound GromWarcry from the game and then imported it as a copy into the game and set it as "Use As Sound" that way I can choose it in the triggers.

The heroes being trained do have a long distance value on which the players can still hear the voice of the hero even when far away by all means. It is a 3D sound, just with different 3D settings.

Also please follow what Chaosy said and confirm if you had done it. Because most symptoms regarding sounds are these causes Chaosy have mentioned.

So I should remove the Condition: Grom Hellscream Equal to Altar of Storms? How will the game know to play the sound only for Grom Hellscream?

For the Sound I'm using: Sound - Play Sound At Point.
