[General] Simple Sound Trigger

[Zenonoth]

Hello, I'd like to ask a simple question..

How do I make it in a trigger such that:

When a unit attacks 1 random sound of 3 sounds is played.

Aka: I have 3 sound files setted up as Sound Variables

When a unit attacks I want one random sound of THESE 3 SOUNDS to be played and not a specific one.

How do I arrange that in a trigger?

In map ini trigger you make a list of sounds (going by what you wrote, I guess you have one already)

• Map Ini
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set AttSound[1] = AxeMissile1 <gen>
    • Set AttSound[2] = AxeMissile2 <gen>
    • Set AttSound[3] = HeroShadowhunterMissileHit1 <gen>

This plays random sound from your list:

• Sound
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play AttSound[(Random integer number between 1 and 3)] at 100.00% volume, attached to (Attacking unit)

The function used in the AttSound's index is Math - Random number.

The problem: WCIII allows you to play only 1 sound via trigger at a time. So when multiple units attack, only 1 sound will be played (for the first unit) - e.g. only the first unit's swing will play sound.

Alternative

I have an alternative, to how this could be done, which may be easier plus you only need one trigger and you dont need to create many variables.

• Sound
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set RandInt = (Random integer number between 1 and 3)
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • RandInt Equal to 1
        • Then - Actions
          • Sound - Play MySound1
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • RandInt Equal to 2
              • Then - Actions
                • Sound - Play MySound2
                • Else - Actions
                  • Sound - Play MySound3
