[JASS] replicating the traits of a global sound

[Diehard@Azeroth]

ok basically what i want is to base a local sound off the traits of a global sound created in the sound editor. i noticed CreateSound() doesnt work with it, even if i use the "gg_snd_SOUNDNAME" as the file name, should i use
CreateSoundFromLabel() ?

i attempted it here, but i failed:

        set atk = CreateSoundFromLabel("gg_snd_Shotgun", false, true, true, 10, 10)
        call AttachSoundToUnit(atk, p)
        call StartSound(atk)
        call KillSoundWhenDone(atk)

even the volume to be replicated/copied.

is the mistake from me or, does the function not work the way i thought it could?

btw yes it is a 3D sound, and a has a minimum range.

thanks for your time

Maybe AttachSoundToUnit bugs the whole thing. Try to remove it and test again.

Also, why do you want to create a local sound?

Also also, remember that the sound actually preloads the first time you play it (so it doesn't actually play).

maybe my friend, il try to do it again, hope it works; i hardly doubt that it would work if i remove it, since i tried it with CreateSound, but never hurts )

edit: yea doesnt work >_< btw i think its something with my map

CreateSoundFromLabel should take just a name as a label, not a global variable name, I think. So in your case it's something like "Shotgun" instead of "gg_snd_Shotgun".

Also, you can get labels from spells with the GetAbilitySoundById function (by passing the rawcode of the spell as a first and something like SOUND_TYPE_EFFECT as a second argument).

You can always search the forums about the problems with CreateSound or CreateSoundWithLabel...

its not for spells, btw i did search forums. >_>

edit: problem is with fadein/fadeout rate (decided to use CreateSound(), since not sure labels work for custom sounds, guess its not like it is in sound editor, Lul

Edit2: it seems that .wav files dont play, il try to not include in it the filename...
