Sound when on low health

[Gorindesia]

Is there a way to add a sound when my character in wc3 is on low health externally?

There's two kinds of sounds, 3D sounds which play from a point/unit and can only be heard when your camera is near them, and non-3D which play universally. I assumed you wanted a universal sound which can be heard by everyone since that's the default behavior (you need to use some tricks to play a sound for a single player):

• Set Low Life Unit
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Variable LowLifeUnit = Paladin 0000 <gen>

• Play Low Life Sound
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (LowLifeUnit is alive) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Percentage life of LowLifeUnit) Less than or equal to 25.00
            • LowLifeSoundIsOn Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Variable LowLifeSoundIsOn = True
            • Sound - Play LowLifeLoop <gen>
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • LowLifeSoundIsOn Equal to True
                • (Percentage life of LowLifeUnit) Greater than 25.00
              • Then - Actions
                • Set Variable LowLifeSoundIsOn = False
                • Sound - Stop LowLifeLoop <gen> After fading
              • Else - Actions
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • LowLifeSoundIsOn Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Variable LowLifeSoundIsOn = False
            • Sound - Stop LowLifeLoop <gen> After fading
          • Else - Actions

This value is the percentage of life that is considered "low life":

• (Percentage life of LowLifeUnit) Less than or equal to 25.00

I'm using 25.00 which is equal to 25%. You can see it being referenced twice so make sure you update both of those values if you decide to change it.

Thank you for your input. I realize that I didn't provide enough details initially. I'm currently playing a mod, and I'm interested in knowing if there's a method to trigger a sound notification when I'm alt-tabbed and my character's health is low.
