why wont it work?

Hey guys, carrect me if im wrong, but to make a sound "sound" you have to:
1.Go to the sound editor and pick a sound and use it as a sound.
2.Then go to the trigger editor and make the action:
Play sound: *selected sound*
RIGHT?!
If yes, well, i don't know what heppened but IT WON'T WORK!!! :\
I tried everything but that sound just wont work!
btw it's a sound from war3, just from the sound editor (if it will help)

We can't magically tell why it won't work. Convert the trigger to text and post it.

Well there could be some reasons for this:

1) There could be more than just 1 sounds playing at the same time (Try to Destroy Last Played Sound).

2) I heard that it sometimes won't work with long names on sounds, so if you got a sound named "Peon What1", change it's name to something like PW1.

I think that PatruX is right about the first one.
I have too many sounds playing at one time when that sound is about to play :>
Well ill try to fix it
Thanx anyway ^_^

That's usually the problem with sound issues. ;)

Might be a non-3D sound being used as 3D, or vice-versa. This is a question for the sound forum, though.

sry about the mistake :>
Anyhoo, IT STILL WONT WORK!!!
And i changed the name (it's a HydraliskWhat and that kinde of stuff) i changed it to HW2, but still wont work :(
And btw ThyFlame i don't know about this 3D stuff but as i sad in my first post it's taken from war3 sound editor

(Just making sure...) You DO have a .wav, not a .mp3, correct?
Eh, I'm not so great with sound (not that I'm great normally) but I do know you cant use Mp3's...

Well.... idon't know, (if in war3 are mp3's) i just opened the Sound editor and i didnt import eny sounds i just took the sound in the editor!!!

o_O It's obviously a wav if it's from WC3.


Anyway, this thread needs to be moved into the sound forum, this isn't our "thing".

So..... any other ideas?

If you are using "Sound - Play HydraliskWhat1 <gen>"

Then I stand by what I said previously; you cannot use a 3D sound without playing it on a unit or offset. Sound editor > Double click.

There is a 3D radio box.

WOOHOO!!! YEAH thanx!
I just entere the sound properties and desabled the "3D Sound" ^_^
Ans now it works perfectly!!!!
AND athother thanx to you all for ansowering ^_^

Go to the sound editor, double click on the sound that is giving you the problems, UNCHECK the 3d Sound box.

In the trigger use the Action: Play - Sound

That will work... :D

I alrady did that
But thnx anyway ^_^
