Weapon sound situation

[Karzama]

I was wondering, if I made 2 items. One a sword and one a hammer that had visual effects on the holder (so the user would actually hold a sword or a hammer). Would I be able to change the sound used when the holder attacks? Or would I have to make both weapons work as orbs or something? I would prefer to do it triggers....

1. find a hammer model in the model section
2.make a anility named hammer
3. there is two fields named attachment pont set it to "hand,right" and the other one add the hammer model

now add the ability to a item

Anyone got any clue on how to do the sound part without triggers or jass?

I had the idea of removing the unit's attack sound and making a passive item ability with 100% chance to trigger that fired a sound (with the "Sound - Effect Sound" in the object editor). So if you have two different items, they will have two different passive item abilities with two different sounds solving the problem.

However when I tried it out, the passive never ever triggers that sound. I made the passive ability trigger an effect on the unit it was used on, and that effect had a sound in its field, still no sound ever triggered and I never saw the Effect being triggered. Buffs weren't being triggered either. Am I doing something wrong or is this just how passive abilities work?

Maybe you should make an ability based on orb of fire or something. And then set the projectile to none. Then set the effect sound to the sound you want.

Or just play the sound or change the unit Weapon Sound field with a transformation ability.

I think I'll try the orb idea. Would anyone know how to make it so that only one weapon would appear as being held. If you had 2 weapons in your inventory for example, the highest one would be visible on your character but not any others? Just wondered but I think I'll use some kind of system to make it so you can only hold 1 of each type of equipment. Excluding bonuses like rings, potions etc. Thanks anyway!

There's a system that you can do that. I'll post the triggers when I can use my computer. I'm using iPhone right now.
