Quick help with this? playing sound for only 1 unit (advanced)

[marvey323]

I have a unit-array variable CreatedPlayerHero[]

And I want the custom script I need to issue a sound effect when an action happens to one unit, im using:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_CreatedPlayerHero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())] then
• Sound - Play upgrade_fail <gen>

But no sound is played. Any idea?

Im sorry, fixed my post.

sorry for asking such "stupid" questions but I just want to make sure.
1. is jasshelper enabled? + do you use JNGP?
2. do you use this script after the sound?

• Custom script: endif

Well, you can't play a sound for one unit. You can play it for a player, but not a unit. Maybe you mean to play a 3D sound? (Sound - Play sound on Unit)

Anyway, the general structure would be:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
• Sound - Play upgraded <gen>
• Custom script: endif

That would be to play the sound globally for the triggering player only (you can hear it regardless of where your camera is). To play it around the unit, you would use:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
• Sound - Play upgraded <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to (SomeUnit)
• Custom script: endif

But keep in mind that if you have a custom sound, it might not necessarily work as a 3D sound. They need certain properties. You should try playing the sound in a blank map as a 3D sound to see whether it plays properly in the first place.

This is the exact code im using:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_CreatedPlayerHero[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())] then
• Sound - Play upgraded <gen>
• Custom script: endif

Jasshelper is enabled

Im just trying to convert the GUI: CreatedPlayerHero[Player number of[Triggering player]] to custom script since that's whats needed to call the sound for 1 player in-game and no one else to hear it !

tried this and it worked.

• Melee Initialization
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: asd
    • Sound - Play FootmanWhat2 <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to Paladin 0001 <gen>
    • Custom script: endif

I just want to be able to play a sound for 1 player in the game that triggers the action

you're saying this would suffice?

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then

depends on the event
