Question on sound in the fog of war

[WindexIsBack]

Is it possible to make units play sounds in the fog of war, as if they were in normal vision?
I know it's possible to make units appear in the fog of war, but they won't play their sounds correctly unless they are in normal vision.

+rep for helping

I don't think there's a way without importing the sounds and triggering them?

 

[ShadowBlade]

Maybe a dummy unit on top? Would that be normal vision?

 

[WindexIsBack]

The problem with triggered sounds, is there's a limit of 4 being played at the same time.

 

[ShadowBlade]

How about my suggestion?

 

[WindexIsBack]

I said in the fog of war.

 

[ShadowBlade]

It has to be fog of war?
No suggestions then.

Edit:

it is possible, dota allows it
but i tot a sound will be played as long as in range regardless of FOW...hmm...
maybe gameplay constant?

 

[ShadowBlade]

How about using an ability sound, like Pudge's "Argh... Fresh Meat!" when he uses Dismember. (It can be heard globally in fog of war.)

 

[Razed]

Play Sound - ...

That stretches across the entire battefield, no matter what. So also through Fog of War, eh?

As stated.

Import the sound to replace an internal 3D sound, like.... BansheeRangerPissed1?

Spoiler

I am not sure if this works, it's about testing and seeing what works.

 

[ShadowBlade]

What if he needs BansheeRangerPissed1?
I didn't test either, but if Windex thinks so...

free bump, i want to know it too

I am looking for a way to hear 3d sounds through fog of war too.

I hope it is possible to hear all the combat sounds etc through fog too, otherwise just a triggered 3D Sound..

+rep for the one who can help me!

Yes I realised that, I thought it would be better to reply to this one, than to open a new thread. Now you can see what others already mentioned about this question.

But do you have an answer to the question?

Anyone?

Is it possible to make a sound audible for only one player then? So I can trigger it that when a player's hero is near the sound-source the player will hear the sound (at volume depending on the distance between source and hero)

You would need "GetLocalPlayer()", a jass Action, for this purpose.
If you dont know what GetLocalPlayer does you should first read some turtorials about it becausethis function can cause desync-errors in your map if not used correctly.

Wow I looked it up very fast, and it looks like it's kinda hard to do... (I'm not good in JASS) Is that the only way to do it? :/
