[JASS] Sound Not Playing

[WraithSeeker]

 set SLEEP =CreateSoundFromLabel("UndeadSleepBirth1",false,false,false,10,10)

Is in my Init function

 call StartSound(SLEEP)

Is played at the actions

 private sound SLEEP

At globals block.

Now why does this not work? I need to create sounds for my spells else they look really dull.

If you do not know what Sound I am using, I am using Internal/Abilities/Spells/Undead/SleepBirth1

 

[Captain Griffen]

Shouldn't the string be: "Internal//Abilities//Spells//Undead//SleepBirth1"?

Also may need to preload it to make it work first time properly.

 

[WraithSeeker]

I do not know how to do it with CreateSound(..parametres).

I do not understand what is this string eaxSetting which is in that native's parametres.

 

[Captain Griffen]

Just use "" for eaxSetting.

 

[WraithSeeker]

Still no sound.

set SLEEP = CreateSound("Internal//Abilities//Spells//Undead//SleepBirth1",false,true,true,10,10,"")
    call StartSound(SLEEP)
    call SetSoundVolume(SLEEP,2000)

In my Init function

Played it in the actions function of my trigger and still no sound came out.

Also may need to preload it to make it work first time properly.

Did you do that?

 

[Deaod]

/ --> \, unless it takes strings in exactly that format, but im sure its a path to a file, so backslashes should be used.

 

[WraithSeeker]

Yes, with this

call Preload("Internal//Abilities//Spells//Undead//SleepBirth1")

 

[Captain Griffen]

Deaod, whoops, you can tell I haven't coded in a while. It should be \ indeed.

Yes, with this

call Preload("Internal//Abilities//Spells//Undead//SleepBirth1")

That isn't in the code you showed me. I don't have psychic powers.

Alright, I'll post the devilish code.

Still no sound heard.

You're creating it as a 3d sound, but then not running it as one.
