Play Sound For Player 1

[wingdnosring]

How can I play a sound for only player 1 (red)? I think I need to use custom script, but I'm not very confident in my JASS skills. I know next to nothing about using custom scripts in triggers. I can call animations by index and I can remove leaks and that's about it.

Please show me a trigger and explain it in GUI.

Thanks!

• Actions
  • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
  • Custom script: call StartSound(gg_snd...)
  • Custom script: endif

Brackets after Player (where the zero is) hold the index of a player, but in JASS it starts from 0, not from 1, so Player(0) is Player 1, Player(1) is Player 2 etc. So change the number accordingly. If you have the player stored in a global variable, just replace Player(0) with your variable name, but put an "udg_" before that.

Also, you need to make a dummy trigger which uses your sound somewhere, convert it to JASS and find a word that looks like gg_snd (and something after that). Copy that part (delete your dummy trigger) and paste it in the brackets after StartSound (put it instead of that "gg_snd...").

You need a map initialization trigger. Make a new trigger that runs on map initialization, convert it to JASS and find a function that has the trigger name + Actions, it looks something like:

function Trig_Map_Initialization_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
endfunction

If your trigger is named "Map Initialization".

One thing before you do anything with that function, you need to put this function in your map header:

function PreloadSoundPath takes string path returns nothing
    local sound snd = CreateSound(path, false, false, false, 10, 10, "")
    call SetSoundVolume(snd, 0)
    call StartSound(snd)
    call KillSoundWhenDone(snd)
    set snd = null
endfunction

Map header is on top of your trigger tree (it holds your map's name), click it and on the right you will se a comment like "here you can put your custom script code blabla" and in the box below (because the box above is just a comment) paste this function.

Now return to your "Actions" function and do this:

function Trig_Map_Initialization_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call PreloadSoundPath("")
endfunction

Inside the "" you need to put the path of your sound. For example: "Abilities//RainOfChaos//...". I don't remember if it's double forwardslash or a double backslash... You can check that by creating a dummy trigger, making a special effect action, converting it in JASS and check the slashes in "" (wherever they are).

could i just do this?

Custom Script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
Sound - Play MySound (GUI style)
Custom Script: endif

Rather not but in it should work

 

[wingdnosring]

won't cause desyncs will it?

Only 1 way to find out.

The PreloadSoundPath is used because sounds don't play the first time you play them. They need to load first.
