About Special Effects

[merlinds]

HI thehelper people!

My question now is about the Special Effects, is there a way to create a special effect but without its sound?.
Because some times the default sound of an SE does not match with the use im giving to it.
For example, one of my heroes is a Magician, for his dessaparition skill i use the Polymorph effect, but when i create the effect it plays the sound of a sheep. i Would like to create the SE but use another sound.
Is it posible?? How? why? when? where?

i believe sound is determined in the spell, like a sound field, check if it has a field where you can set impact sound and cast sounds

Thought he did not ask for any muted sounds,but for mute them i guess.

Yeas, in the skills you can set the sounds. But for example when you make a triggered spell and in some part of it you add a SE you cannot set the sound of that SE, it just plays its default sound.
And the polymorph is just an example, i will need a more general solution, since this problem is whit more than one SE.

try using the channel ability, its the most flexible ability in game

 

[merlinds]

Im talking about Triggered Special effect, it does not matter whitch one ability i use.

 

[GFreak45]

well i was saying channel because i believe you can remove any sounds it makes if it makes any at all, its the single most flexible in game spell because it has nothing hard coded except that it is a channelling spell

Bump! any idea?? some body can help me??

How about you listen to GFreak and use channel? you do know you can place an effect through triggers using channel

if it's that important i have a solution that works only for cute people

find PolymorphTarget1.wav in your Sound Editor
RightClick it and select Replace Internal
Now select an empty wav file on your disk

now your special effect is mute

here is an empty wav View attachment PolymorphTarget1.zip

How about you read what im asking, that has nothing to do with the skill itself but with the SE added through triggers?

AMN:

I dont know if im cute, but your solution works for me.
Thx!!!!!!

i was only meaning to use it because anything you do with the spell must be triggered, making it perfect for any spells that are giving you trouble due to hardcoding, which is what i thought the issue was here, hardcoding of the sound file for the spell
