Sound mui

[Datnes]

When my ball hits ground or wall the sound does not play or it playes only few times. I used play 3d sound at location or attached but still doesnt work. Is this a way to play the sound that it will be "mui" and plays everytime the ball hits a ground or wall? If it can be in jazz please post here a custom script. thanks.

There's often problems related to playing sounds, imo the easiest way is to add the sound directly in the model so that it plays during a specific animation, and play said anim when your ball hits something

The first time a custom sound object is played in a map it will not be audible. For this reason it’s beneficial to preload your sounds by playing them once at low/no volume.

Sounds as available to GUI are global variables that point to sound objects, and as such a single sound object cannot be played simultaneously in multiple locations (different sound objects can be simultaneous). The way around this is to create a new instance of the sound object each time you want it to play. The GUI functions for sounds do not really make this possible, though it is with JASS/Lua.

Chaosium’s suggestion of integrating the sound into the object model avoids these issues. You can also assign the sound to be used by some ability (Roar for example) and then use a dummy to cast that ability wherever you want the sound heard.

You could also create and kill destructibles playing their death sound. Of course it's a bit of a pain that you have to replace some game sound paths for custom imported sound files.

Here are two examples of how I have used sounds. I learned these from this forum from guides that I am unable to find now.

This works and is very simple. It creates a sound with some default values. Theres just a custom script and the addition of destroy sound. The native CreateSound has some parameters.

• Custom script: set udg_GunGlaiveSound = CreateSound("Abilities/Weapons/huntermissile/HeadHunterMissileHit1", false, true, true, 1, 1, "CombatSoundsEAX")
• Sound - Play GunGlaiveSound at 100.00% volume, attached to AllPigsArray[Int]
• Sound - Destroy GunGlaiveSound

native CreateSound takes string fileName, boolean looping, boolean is3D, boolean stopwhenoutofrange, integer fadeInRate, integer fadeOutRate, string eaxSetting returns sound

Later I did something like this for a dynamic index. I added some dots to display time has passed before the next actions.

• Custom script: set udg_MechanismSound[udg_MechanismMax] = CreateSound("Abilities/Spells/Other/Monsoon/MonsoonRainLoop", true, true, false, 1, 1, "SpellsEAX")
• Custom script: call SetSoundVolume(udg_MechanismSound[udg_MechanismMax], 30)
• Custom script: call SetSoundDistances(udg_MechanismSound[udg_MechanismMax], 600, 3500)
• Custom script: call SetSoundDistanceCutoff(udg_MechanismSound[udg_MechanismMax], 3000)
• Custom script: call AttachSoundToUnit(udg_MechanismSound[udg_MechanismMax], udg_MechanismDummy[udg_MechanismMax])
• Custom script: call StartSound(udg_MechanismSound[udg_MechanismMax])
• ...
• Sound - Destroy MechanismSound[MechanismIndex]
• Custom script: set udg_MechanismSound[udg_MechanismIndex] = null

So in essence: create sound, set some values for the sound or keep default values, play sound and destroy sound. Very simple.
