Sound Trigger

[zarpalasjohn]

I have two different sounds for an ablity.

Example

Set Sound_For_Spell[0]= fire_beam_sound1<gen>
Set Sound_For_Spell[1]= fire_beam_sound2<gen>

Every time i use a certain spell i want to Play : fire_beam_sound1 for the first time and the second time casting the spell to listen to fire_beam_sound2.

I was trying to make a var to do the following :

Sound_var = (Sound_var+1)

And the condition was

IF (Sound_var x 1) equals to 0

Then

play fire_beam_sound1

Else

play fire_beam_sound2

But i know how i will create a var to save sounds and use them as real or integer so i can put them in the condition

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • SoundToggle Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • Sound - Play fire_beam_sound1<gen>
    • Set SoundToggle = False
  • Else - Actions
    • Sound - Play fire_beam_sound2<gen>
    • Set SoundToggle = True

Or if you want to randomly play one of the two sounds (like how WC3 treats most combat sounds):

• Sound - Play Sound_For_Spell[(Random integer number between 0 and 1)]

Thanks Works like a charm

note you can play only one sound, so using this for complete system in mass fights may not be the best approach.

in that thread, maybe this is the answer you are looking for

function PlaySoundAtPoint takes string f, real x, real y returns nothing
    local sound s = CreateSound( f, false, true, true, 10, 10, "" )
    call SetSoundDuration( s, GetSoundFileDuration(f) )
    call SetSoundChannel( s, 0 )
    call SetSoundVolume( s, 127 )
    call SetSoundPitch( s, 1.0 )
    call SetSoundPosition(s, x, y, 0)
    call StartSound(s)
    call KillSoundWhenDone(s)
    set s = null
endfunction

but I'm not sure, I have another way, just PM me if the solution above doesn't work..

There are certain limitations to sounds in WC3:

1) You can only play the same sound handle once (I needs to be stopped or finish in order to play it again)
2) You can only play the same sound file path (when using the same file path with multiple sound handles) once within a certain interval (around 0.1 seconds)
3) You can play only up to 4 different sound handles with the same sound filepath at the same time - note that 2) still applies so you need to delay them by 0.1 seconds each.
4) You can only play up to 16 sounds, no matter the handle or filepath in general
