[Spell] Problem playing a created sound

[HerlySQR]

I made 2 triggers for a spell:

• Custom script: set udg_Temp_Sound=CreateSound("Abilities\\Spells\\Undead\\Possession\\PossessionMissileLaunch1.wav", false, true, true, 10, 10, "DefaultEAXON")
• Sound - Play Temp_Sound at 100.00% volume, attached to (Last created unit)
• Sound - Destroy Temp_Sound

• Custom script: set udg_Temp_Sound=CreateSound("Abilities\\Spells\\Undead\\Possession\\PossessionMissileHit1.wav", false, true, true, 10, 10, "DefaultEAXON")
• Sound - Play Temp_Sound at 100.00% volume, attached to (Load Atemp_Int3 of 5 in Dark_Summoning_datos)
• Sound - Destroy Temp_Sound

But only the second works, but the first for some reason didn't work, I'm sure I wrote correctly the path, If you need to see the triggers tell me, but they have some other things that I don't wanna explain, but I think it can't be neccesary.
In resume, what's wrong?
Edit, ok I think the problem is in the trigger, so I will share you, but is a disaster, I hope this won't be a problem for you.

[GIMLI_2]

Last created unit is not a local variable, the unit creation might fire other events, which then overwrite the global variable.

Try to put the unit into a local variable or into its own global variable.

Did you see the entire trigger?

@GIMLI_2 Really? and that's not even the problem.

 

[HerlySQR]

I realize the thing only happens the first time the sound is created and played and heared (for every string) and that's not have sense.

 

[Duckfarter]

SimError talks about a bug with sounds played for the first time. That bug should be fixed from version 1.22 and later though.

I do recall SimError stating that it was resolved with v1.22 but as far as I know, that bug still exists. This thread had a similar issue and resolves the issue by preloading" the sound at the start of the map, which is what I used to do with my maps back in the day.

I'm almost certain this bug is the reason why your sound won't play the first time @HerlySQR.

Well, at the end I did the same thing.

WC3 cannot play the sound initially as it has not not loaded. It plays it the second time as it loaded the sound in response to the first time so it is not available to be played back.

Games usually have some tolerance for this sort of thing, allowing a sound to playback up to X seconds late before playback is outright skipped. I am guessing that either trigger played sounds have no tolerance, or the tolerance is so small it is not practical for the sound to get loaded during that time.
