Sound Issues

[Bob1897]

Hello Hiveworkshop community, I seem to be having some problems with the object editor. To give a general description of the situation, I am attempting to give the PUMA model (a model which I accquired from the model section) the attack sound of a machine gun. My origional thoughts were to give it a rapid fire attack, with the sound of the rifleman, however after creating a mimic rifleman, and changing the model used to PUMA, the sound would not function. So after various confirmation of this anomoly (spelling?) I decided, instead, to use the space marine's attack sound. But again, the same issue occured. Does anyone have a solution on how to get this to work, or possibly a different solution? Any sound will do, so long as it is like a machine gun. Thanks,

The sound that plays when the unit attacks is associated with the model, not anything in the Object Editor. The only thing I can think of is a trigger that plays a sound everytime a unit of that type attacks. Ask if you need an example

So, I think I'm leaning towards a different sound, though could you go a bit further in your suggestion? For example, if the sound is assciociated with the unit, then how how could I access it, and use it in a trigger?
Edit: after some experimentation I have come up with this:
Unit-a unit is attacked
(unit type of (attacking unit)) equal to PUMA
Action:
This is what I can't figure out. my only option is to play the "last played sound,'' and I can't seem to select a sound.

Step 1:
Step 2:

• Sound Effects
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Set TempLocA = (Position of (Attacking unit))
    • Sound - Play RiflemanAttack1 <gen> at 100.00% volume, located at TempLocA with Z offset 50.00
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocA)

Would you...um...happen to kow the location of the space marine?

Whoops, I meant the sound, srry.
Oh, and also, I'm not quite sure how to arrive at the scripting you displayed, is templocA a variable? How do you set it all up? By the way, here's some rep

It appears he uses the gyrocopter attack sound, so:

So now that I know the sound, how do I use it for the trigger? Again, my appologies for my ignorance regarding this issue, but I really do appreciate the help.

Rightclick the gyrocoptor attack sound, and tell it to "use as sound"
Then in the:

• Sound - Play RiflemanAttack1 <gen> at 100.00% volume, located at TempLocA with Z offset 50.00

change RiflemanAttack1 with GyrocoptorImpactHit1

Thanks a bunch! its working! However, when a second PUMA begins attacking, there is no sound produced, any ideas?

• (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Footman

Well did you change Footman in that to your unit? And check to make sure that your using Attacking unit

The sound is working fine for a Puma, but when another PUMA also attacks (while the otehr PUMA is attacking) there is no effect.

This is why I hate sounds... This is gonna be tricky, I'll edit it again inlike 30 mins maby
Edit: Actually, I think you would get better results if you just edited the puma model:View attachment Puma Edited.mdx
Sorry anarchianbedlam, I hope you don't mind

BTW i have variables of some sounds and none is working

• Untitled Trigger 004
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing S as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Sound - Play GromPissed3 <gen>
    • Sound - Destroy (Last played sound)
    • Sound - Play LightningBolt1 <gen>
    • Sound - Destroy (Last played sound)

its not 3D sound too..,did that ever happen to you?
