For some reason, the [ljass]SetSoundPitch()[/ljass] native seems to be bugged.

Let's look at some code here:
JASS:
    local sound s1 = CreateSound("war3mapImported\\PiccoloA5.mp3", false, false, false, 10, 10, "")
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.301)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.302)

The first sound has the correct pitch of 1.
The second sound has the correct pitch of 1.3
The third sound has a pitch of 1.3^2
The fourth sound has a pitch of 1.3^2

JASS:
local sound s1 = CreateSound("war3mapImported\\PiccoloA5.mp3", false, false, false, 10, 10, "")
call StartSound(s1)
call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1)
call TriggerSleepAction(3)
call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.3)
call StartSound(s1)
call TriggerSleepAction(3)
call StartSound(s1)
call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.3)
call TriggerSleepAction(3)
call StartSound(s1)
call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.302)

First Sound: 1.0
Second Sound: 1.3
Third Sound: 1.3
Fourth Sound: 1.3^2

Now that this wasn't weird enough, there is more:
JASS:
    local sound s1 = CreateSound("war3mapImported\\PiccoloA5.mp3", false, false, false, 10, 10, "")
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.3)

Real pitch values:
First Sound: Pitch 1
Second Sound: Pitch 1.3
Third Sound: Pitch 1.3 (??)
Fourth Sound: Pitch 1.3 (????)

Same goes for
JASS:
    local sound s1 = CreateSound("war3mapImported\\PiccoloA5.mp3", false, false, false, 10, 10, "")
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.001)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.301)

Real pitches:
1.0
1.3
1.3 (???)
1.3

And now to make it even more weird:
JASS:
    local sound s1 = CreateSound("war3mapImported\\PiccoloA5.mp3", false, false, false, 10, 10, "")
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1.301)
    call TriggerSleepAction(3)
    call StartSound(s1)
    call SetSoundPitch(s1, 1)

1.0
1.3
1.3^2
1.3 (?????)

I give up ... I can not find ANY logical pattern here. Someone please help; am I missing something? If someone can give me a reason for this weird behaviour, please help!
I want to write a SetSoundPitchEx function, but without a logical pattern, there's nothing I can do about it.

PS: Changing the Length of the TriggerSleepAction or Starting the Sound after or before setting the sound pitch does not make any difference.
 
i'm pretty sure you should have posted this in the jass section.

EDIT: just an idea since i don't have the slightest clue. but could it be possible that it can't handle floats with more than 2 decimal places? since most of the abnormal results seem to be related to them.

Well, the native allows for very precise digits. Even something like Pitch 1.059465 is possible (In fact, this number is the frequency factor that pushes the sound a half note higher. 1.059465^12 = 2, which is a full octave. I am currently writing a GuitarTab interpreter system for WC3, so this is crucial.

I will post it again in the JASS section, Thanks.

    It is weird seeing a way more realistic users online number

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
