Problem with playing music

[Phuqinhell]

Hello, i imported a music file and what im trying to do is to play this music to specific players during boss fights

But the music only works when im playing it to everyone on the map simultaneously and not when im trying to play it to specific players only

Also i dont know if this would cause any desync problems, hopefully someone can confirm that for me

This is what it looks like now

• Start Boss Music Left
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Player 12 Spawn Left <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Trekk the Wise 6
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Mhodrok the Mighty 12
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Sarix the Merciless 18
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Zhakkro the Voodoo Shaman 24
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Kozka the Ogre Warlord 30
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Izri the Corrupted Spirit of Eternity 36
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Ylfidir the Corrupted Ancient Treant of Life 42
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Goro the Corrupt Nightmare 48
            • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Narjz the God of Corruption 54
      • Then - Actions
        • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Player1 then
        • Sound - Play When_Legends_Rise_Boss_Music <gen>
        • Custom script: endif
      • Else - Actions

What is udg_Player1 ? Change that to Player(0)

What is udg_Player1 ? Change that to Player(0)

Player1 is a player variable set to Player 1 (Red)

I tried to change to what you suggested but its still the same

Your trigger is lacking some crucial information about which players are participating in that boss fight. As is, the trigger logic is just attempting to play a sound effect for player 1 only.

Is there any other trigger that keeps track of players that join in that boss fight?

Also i dont know if this would cause any desync problems, hopefully someone can confirm that for me

Playing sound effects locally shouldn't cause desync.

 

[Phuqinhell]

I store every player in a player variable and those are in another trigger setup

The idea is like this, the map has a total of 10 players, there are two teams with 5 players each
when team 1 encounters a boss, the music starts and when the boss dies, the music ends and the exact same thing should happen with team 2

i guess the triggers should look something like this maybe?

• Start Boss Music Left

    • Unit - A unit enters Player 12 Spawn Left <gen>

      • Else - Actions

my knowledge with custom scripts are rather poor and this is only what i have found online so i dont know if this is on the right path or not

but i would be forever grateful if someone could show me how to make this work properly

You have two options :

1. Pick all players in team X and play the music for them.

• Trigger 1
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in Team_A and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer () == GetEnumPlayer() then
        • Sound - Play When_Legends_Rise_Boss_Music <gen>
        • Custom script: endif
    • Custom script: call DestroyForce (udg_Team_A)

2. Play the music locally for each player.

• Trigger 2
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Music = When_Legends_Rise_Boss_Music <gen>
    • Custom script: call StartSoundForPlayerBJ(udg_Player1,udg_Music)
    • Custom script: call StartSoundForPlayerBJ(udg_Player2,udg_Music)
    • Custom script: call StartSoundForPlayerBJ(udg_Player3,udg_Music)
    • -------- etc --------

StartSoundForPlayerBJ works the same as GetLocalPlayer ()

function StartSoundForPlayerBJ takes player whichPlayer, sound soundHandle returns nothing
    if (whichPlayer == GetLocalPlayer()) then
        call StartSound(soundHandle)
    endif
endfunction

Thank you for providing me with this information(+rep), i tried option 1 and i am getting music whenever a boss appears, however its not the correct music for some reason, any idea why that is?

The imported music works ingame when i run it through a simple trigger so it should have been properly imported

I wanted to try option 2 aswell but i can't find wich type of variable you use on Set Music tho

however its not the correct music for some reason

What do you mean?

I wanted to try option 2 aswell but i can't find wich type of variable you use on Set Music tho

Sound.

 

[Phuqinhell]

I dont know why but option 1 just gave me some random wc3 music instead of my imported music file, perhaps i just missed something

Option 2 worked really good tho =)

Can't thank you enough =)
