Randomized Trigger

[Asomath]

Ok, I am new to World-Editor and im still trying to learn a few things. But, how do a get the trigger to take a random "event" from a group? For example, I use a spell, and I want the trigger to play a random sound from a predetermined group of sounds. This is for a boss fight.

Event-
UnitA begins casting an ability.

Condition-
Ability=Thunderclap

Action-
???


What would I put for action to get it to play that random sound? Thanks for the time of anyone who decides to answer.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Thunder Clap
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Equal to 5
      • Then - Actions
        • Sound - Play XXX
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- You actions are here below if/then/else --------

This gives you 5% chance to play sound XXX
now if you want more than ons sound to be "random" use if/than/else with same condition but with other sound, like this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Thunder Clap
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Equal to 5
      • Then - Actions
        • Sound - Play XXX
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Equal to 5
      • Then - Actions
        • Sound - Play XXX02
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Equal to 5
      • Then - Actions
        • Sound - Play XXX03
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- You actions are here below if/then/else --------

But im not sure that the sound wouldn't trigger at the same time.
And don't forget to destroy thst sound, because if you don;t you have a leak.

Thank you very much! This is much easier then creating 20 very basic triggers. You just saved me alot of time. Thankyou!

the trigger you showed up would give you 1% chance to play the sound, you have to use "random integer between 1 and 100 is less or equal to 5"

Yah I was thinking about the math there... Nonetheless it is still helpful ^_^

Ok thread revival because it did in fact play the sound overlapped. So now, what would be the way to do this so that the only one sound plays instead of them overlapping?

Before you add "Sound - Play Something" try add another trigger above it to stop all current playing music/sounds.

• Sound - Stop music Immediately

• If - Conditions
  • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Equal to 5
  • Then - Actions
    • Sound - Stop music Immediately
    • Sound - Play XXX
  • Else - Actions

If you are not using Music then try this:

• If - Conditions
  • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Equal to 5
  • Then - Actions
    • Sound - Stop SoundVar Immediately
    • Set SoundVar = No sound
    • Sound - Play XXX
    • Set SoundVar = (Last played sound)
  • Else - Actions

Each time you say "Random integer number blah blah blah" you're picking a different number, so you have a 5% chance per sound.
Instead, do this...

• random trigger
• Events
  • A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • Ability being cast is equal to Thunder clap
• Actions
  • Set TempInteger to a random integer number between 1 and (however many sounds you have)
  • if(TempInteger equal to 1) than Sound - Play sound 1 else Do Nothing
  • if(TempInteger equal to 2) than Sound - Play sound 2 else Do Nothing
  • ...

TempInteger is an Integer variable btw
