[General] play imported custom sounds using Sound - Effect Sound field in object editor

[FUJI]

hi guys, tried searching but couldn't find any...

the query is to play imported custom sounds (basically, a wav file) by just manipulating the string field of an ability:

using the natives:

BlzSetAbilityStringField(BlzGetUnitAbility(unit,ability),ABILITY_SF_EFFECT_SOUND,"") -- working
BlzSetAbilityStringField(BlzGetUnitAbility(unit,ability),ABILITY_SF_EFFECT_SOUND,"A01Garithos01") -- working
BlzSetAbilityStringField(BlzGetUnitAbility(unit,ability),ABILITY_SF_EFFECT_SOUND,"war3mapImported\\Pyroblast Cast Sound.wav") -- not working

but seems like they only play default sounds listed here:

i know there are other workarounds to deal with playing custom sounds but isn't it possible to like kinda put our imported sounds on the list of Sound - Effect Sound string values instead in order for our own sounds to be played or i'm just getting it wrong? tia

Is the custom sound working otherwise (e.g. from the sound editor)?

Might try importing is as a flac file if you're on the latest version
