[General] to not hear -"your building is complete"

[Cheshire]

Hey,

how can I disable the "building complete" notification for 1 type of builder/building (but not for the map in general)? I assume this is really simple but I couldn't find the handle..

thanks!

I was able to get this to work by going into game interface and shift-clicking the Job Done path and changing it to null.

It did not work when set to None or _.

thanks, but that would change the whole game. I want most buildings to function normally and only change this on one unit (a hero ability based off of ivory tower)

previously I had this ability based of off a summoning ability, and then it had a different problem - I couldn't get it to show where the full building would be and only build on clear pathing, but rather just select a point on the ground, and if there wasn't enough buildable room it would build the unit somewhere else nearby. so if that is an easier fix (=to summon a ward and have it act like building a building - show you the green/red shadow of the building and only "cast" when it can build where you told it to) that will also help thx!

Do what @Planetary said then trigger the sound for the other buildings.

• Test
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes Construction
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Constructed structure)) Not equal to Ivory Tower
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetConstructedStructure()) then
    • Sound - Play JobDone <gen>
    • Custom script: endif

thanks.... that sounds so backwards...it frustrating when the editor is so rigid.... there's no way to just script - action - dont play sound?

You're thinking about it from the wrong perspective. In this use case we're essentially nullifying the default behavior that is, indeed, hard coded into the engine and bringing it under our explicit control since there are no actions to simply stop a building-finished sound

If there's another method, someone will post it. If not, this bypasses waiting around for someone to come up with the specific feature you desire. It's worth noting it's not a very resource-intensive fix.

Yeah I guess... I didn't mean to sound ungrateful if that's how I came off... thanks!

Sound - Play JobDone <gen>

how do I set this? I only have access to sounds that I specifically set up in the sound editor and can than use as variables, but how do i do some thing general like - build finish sounds for any race?

I'm afraid you will have to do it manually for each race like this :

If race of (Owner of (Constructed Structure)) Equal to Human then Play Peasant Job Done.
