Sound trigger doesn't work

[Chewii]

This sound trigger doesn't work.

• Actions
  • Sound - Play MetalLightSliceMetal1 <gen>
  • Wait 1.00 seconds
  • Sound - Destroy MetalLightSliceMetal1 <gen>

Somebody knows why not? Because this trigger works:

• Sound - Play Credits <gen>

if you destroy the sound it can't be played cause it is destroyed and as far as I remember playing a sound for the first time usually does not work

dunno why the second one works though

First off, remove the Wait, you don't need it, the sound is destroyed after it is played without using the Wait.
Have you checked for the right path in the Sound Editor?

Playing sound works for me for the first time...

If you are trying to play multiple sound at the same time,it won't work,I don't prefer using waits for gui spells,it leaks +__+...,try save the sound to a variable, create a unit,and give expiration timer,add that unit to event which when unit dies,destroy sound in that variable.I use this method to destroy some variables that needs destroying after a few secs

I don't knw why your sound didn't play,but I used that same sound for my spell,and it works perfectly! ..if there's another sound being played,the new sound won't play

 

[GhostThruster]

No, you don't need any wait at all! At least for me.
Just do:
Sound - Play ....
Destroy Last Played Sound
Nothing else, especially dummy units and waits!

You can play multiple sounds, use this:
Sound - Play Sound at Point/on Unit.

Uh...what I was trying to show is that ,

A way to destroy leak,when you need "wait" in gui..

I don't think you need to put it to a variable there ,

And I seen in another thread,that destroying sound is really dangerous,I don't know what it meant,maybe you shouldn't use it...
Try normally,I prefer not destroying it,
"It could make that sound unplayable for the whole game,until you restart your map"
And I mostly use play 3d sounds.

Anyway,try this out
Event
Every 6 seconds of gametime
Action
Set TempPoint = position of whatever
Play 3D sound "metal slice" at 100% vol at TempPoint
Custom script : call destroy ugd_TempPoint

See if that works,if not,I dunno.
Try uncheck play 3D sound,but play it as 3d sound,it would give you un3D sound but with 3D sound trig

It works now thanks. The prob was the sound - destroy... Thanks for telling me to remove it.
