Sound for 1 player in multiplayer

[Dreknethema]

Now, I'm a full blown retard when it comes to JASS, but it seems to be the only way I can do it without adding a range and sound cutoff...

How do I play a sound so only 1 out of 4 players hear it?

If possible, something I can copy & paste... Please?

Make a word in RED if I'm suppose to change it to a specific player and a word in GREEN if I'm suppose to change it to a sound, its the last part of the map I'm working on, but its bugging the crap out of me and just doesn't work well if I use a sound cutoff...

        if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
            call StartSound( gg_snd_YourSound )
        endif

or for gui if you like

• Custom script: if (GetLocalPlayer() == ForPlayer) then
  • Sound - Play YourSound
• Custom script: endif

where ForPlayer is your player and YourSound is the variable name of your sound

Or you may use https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/jass-resources-412/system-soundtools-207308/ to give you a much pretty good result

So for the variable ForPlayer, I set the variable before that, such as, make it Player 1 Red or Player 2 Blue before that action?

And in gui, how do I get the sound to nest under the custom script? LOL
This is going to drive me insane...

 

[jim7777]

ahh lol you couldn't nest it
sorry
i just put a spaced before Sound so the parser thinks it is nested lol

yeah ForPlayer should be the player.. but in jass.. player numbers should start with 0.. which is Player 1 red is Player(0) in jass and so on and so forth

or you may use other things like GetOwningPlayer or GetTriggerPlayer whatsoever

Ah man, too much work involved, guess I'll just have to deal with other people hearing the sounds... Thanks though

If you want to refer for a player, let's say it cast spell and you want only the player of the caster to hear your sound, use (Triggering Player)

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if (GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer()) then
    • Sound - Play (Last played sound) at 100.00% volume, attached to (Triggering unit)
    • Custom script: endif

This way, ONLY the owner of the caster will hear the sound.

The concept is same for unit, we use (Triggering unit) = GetTriggerUnit()
For player, we use (Triggering player) = GetTriggerPlayer()
