Unit - A unit enters Trap Bandits <gen>
Conditions
Or - Any (Conditions) are true
Conditions
(Triggering unit) Equal to Troll
(Triggering unit) Equal to HumanWarr

Unit - Create 1 Bandit for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Bandit 1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Set BandiAttacker = (Last created unit)
Unit - Create 1 Bandit for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Bandit 2 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Create 1 Bandit for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Bandit 3 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Create 1 Bandit for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Bandit 4 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Create 1 Bandit for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Bandit 5 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Create 1 Bandit for Player 12 (Brown) at (Center of Bandit 6 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
Sound - Play BanditYesAttack2 <gen>
Set Bandit = (Last played sound)
Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from BandiAttacker named Bandit: Play Bandit and display Say your prayers!. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait

B.t.w. you might want to concider posting this in trigger tags.
Also, there are a lot of leaks in your trigger, I suggest doing something like:

  • init visib
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit enters Trap Bandits <gen>
    • Conditions
      • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • (Triggering unit) Equal to Troll
          • (Triggering unit) Equal to HumanWarr
    • Actions
      • Set temp_loc[1] = (Center of Bandit 1 <gen>)
      • Set temp_loc[2] = (Center of Bandit 2 <gen>)
      • Set temp_loc[3] = (Center of Bandit 3 <gen>)
      • Set temp_loc[4] = (Center of Bandit 4 <gen>)
      • Set temp_loc[5] = (Center of Bandit 5 <gen>)
      • Set temp_loc[6] = (Center of Bandit 6 <gen>)
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit - Create 1 Bandit for Player 12 (Brown) at temp_loc[(Integer A)] facing Default building facing degrees
          • Set bandit[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit)
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_loc[GetForLoopIndexA])
      • Sound - Play BanditYesAttack2 <gen>
      • Set sound = (Last played sound)
      • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from BandiAttacker named Bandit: Play sound and display Say your prayers!. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
If you however are going to use the locations all game long then you won't have to destroy them because they are not considered to be a leak.

It's not a leak if a location stays in memmory untill the game ends if that is the purpose of the location.

You might also want to destroy the trigger if it's not going to be turned on again later in-game.

Does the sound b.t.w. play from your imports?
Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the sound that your playing?
Have you tryed testing the sound in a different trigger?
For example after ... seconds of game time?

EDIT: Have you also tryed removing the Cinematic Send transmission? Since your playing the sound twice at the same time, which might cause the sound to stop playing.
Either remove that or the Sound - Play BanditYesAttack2

Sorry for the late respond, was kind of ocupied. B.t.w. please edit your posts instead of double-tripple posting.

EDIT: could you perhaps post the errors you are recieving? Maybe a screenshot or just copy n paste?

Yeah sorry, my bad:

call RemoveLocation(udg_temp_loc[GetForLoopIndexA()])

EDIT 2: could you tell me which line that is? It should show you where the error is. I can't tell without knowing where your code is and on which line. I can guess, but that won't bring us any further...
EDIT 3: ow and b.t.w. you can post new questions under my post as long as your not double-tripple posting :)

EDIT4: not really, Invalid argument type (rect) means that a region is passed to a function which doesn't take any regions. In this case forLoopAIndex is just the loop that is being increased every time it passes by the loop.
This has nothing to do with a rect (region)

you should see numbers next to the lines of code, could you check what line 139 is?

EDIT 5: I really can't seem to understand why this is a invalid argument (rect) it's impossible 0.0! A loop index does not have anything to do with regions >.<!
Are you sure it is the correct Line number 0.o??
It should be underneath all the code in a little box, the place where your cursor is is the place where the line number is.

Ow and b.t.w. are you sure that temp_loc is a point variable? And that all the indexes of the array are filled with correct regions?
EDIT 6: nevermind I see that it is :S
Could you perhaps display forLoopAIndex in a message in-game? I want to see if all the numbers are correct...

EDIT 7: Removing edit number seven due to inaccurate information explained in crazzzytoo edit number 8 ^.^

EDIT 8: Have you tryed removing Cinematic - Send transmission? Or try removing the Sound - Play BanditYesAttack2 <gen> and Set Bandit = (Last played sound) and then change the Send transmission to Play BanditYesAttack2. Either one of the two, not both at the same time ^.^

EDIT 9: I'll just take a look myself, just a sec have to start up world editor ^.-

EDIT 10: open up your sound editor right click the sound your using -> Edit Sound Variable -> uncheck 3D sound. This should fix it for you ;)
(checking 3D sound means the sound will not be played above a certain range. Which means that the further you are away from the sound being played at a specific point, the less clearly you can hear the sound)
So for example if you shoot a bullet from a gun then the sound comes from the gun but if your standing miles away from the gun you can barely hear it.

EDIT 11: doesn't matter, time spend helping something out is time spent well. More positive karma ftw :p

EDIT 12: I hope in the future that we can post reply's underneath each other instead of always editing our posts, just make sure not to double post and only edit when no one has replyed yet :)


EDIT 14:Finaly xD Thanks alot again!When i get more things done on this map ill inform you so that you can check it out if you want that is xD
Click to expand...

I would love to :)

I guess this problem is [Solved]?
Any mod in here that can help us out ^.^??

Instead of this
  • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from BandiAttacker[1] named Bandit: Play Bandit and display Say your prayers!. Modify duration: Add 0.00 seconds and Wait
try
  • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from BandiAttacker[1] named Bandit: Play Bandit and display Say your prayers!. Modify duration: Set to 2.00 seconds and Wait
If sound don't play, then go to sound editor and setup variables there.

Already suggested changing the variable in my previous post, his problem was already solved ;)

Check EDIT 10 in my post...
