Worker Sounds

Alright well i am working on a new map, i wanted to use different units as workers such as the villager male unit.
ive tried a few different ways of creating it, i made it a completely new custom unit, i also tried to copy/paste the peasant and peons and then just changed the model for each of them. all other sounds as far as attacking and chopping wood work but i cant seem to get the repair(human) or repair ability sounds to work when trying with the villager as the worker.
im not using any custom buildings yet, just the basic human builds mainly the farm just for quick testing. in the same map i can have a regular peasant build/repair and that makes the 'hammering' sound like normal but as soon as i try it with the custom villager worker theres no sound.
i also tried using the peasant sound set for it and the villager sound set, neither of which make that sound.
i know its a simple thing but its really annoying when you notice it lol
is it the actual model the sound is attached to? i see the sounds in the sound editor under abilities so i thought it was attached to the ability but doesnt seem to work at all.

thanks in advance! xD

I do not know the answer for sure, but it sounds plausible, that the sound is actually attached to the animation of the peasant. That is possible and it would explain the situation you are describing. Either way, giving your cutom model an animation for the repair and attaching a sound to it will solve your problem.

yeah thats unfortunate but will give me something different and hopefully a bit of enjoyment figuring out how to make the animations with sounds haha, thanks though :)

    No, I'm still looking into them and kind of leaning towards a Rebel T7 at the moment because it's pretty cheap and lenses seem pretty easy to come by. Used ones are only like 3-400 dollars, which is much cheaper than I was planning
  • jonas jonas:
    I can't really recommend you any specific lens or body due to lack of knowledge, but in my experience camera shops are very helpful, especially those that also sell used parts
  • Varine Varine:
    There's only one camera shop in my town and they seem to specialize in film, but I have time before I need it. I'm not in a rush so I'll keep researching them
  • jonas jonas:
    I think since you have such specific needs, you should find a way to give a try for different systems without having to commit to one
  • jonas jonas:
    It would suck to spend 400$ on a system that doesn't have the capability you need
  • jonas jonas:
    and it will probably take a couple of tries to get the settings right
  • Varine Varine:
    It would but I can also just make sure I can return them. The system I have works, it's pretty straightforward and I tested it with a camera I have. All it really is is a little cartridge that holds the transparency film and a white light source behind it that projects the image into the lens
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll have to fuck with the light a bit and try some different lighting methods to get color accuracy, but I have IT8 targets for that

    get that color accuracy :)
  • Varine Varine:
    They're really helpful for calibrating things because I'm really colorblind, so I'm not great at doing it by eye

    Well the long, slow slog of winter has officially begun here
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a bunch of community service I have to do, and I have a feeling there will be a lot of snow shoveling involved now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    don't know why people choose to live in that kind of weather :)
  • Varine Varine:
    Well
  • Varine Varine:
    My job is here
  • Varine Varine:
    I was born here man I didn't choose shit
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, I keep moving away and it doesn't get any better. I moved to San Antonio and shit froze there AND we had blackouts
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I'm back, suffering from severe jet lag.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Cold is following your ass around Varine - I just dont think I could handle a snowy winter.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Welcome Back Tom!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hear that taking a Melatonin around your normal bedtime can really fix jet lag
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Yeah, I also heard about that as well. I think I'm good. I'm just lucky it's the weekend so I have some time to readjust.
