Giveing units speech?

I think I have a basic idea of how to do this, but am kinda unsure of how to write it out. How do I give a unit custom sounds? So, when it moves/attacks, it plays wavs, and not its normal sound?



None.

Sleeping wolves wake hungry.

Same principle as footstep triggers, only with random switches.

I'm too tired to explain, though.

Perhaps someone else could explain my theory while i go to bed? =P

I thought of that, but then found a problem. Then I found that problem doesn't exist :P Alright what about attacks?



None.

Kay, screw sleep.

Well, it only really works if you're using virtual hp or ohks, but you could have a sound play when a player kills a unit.

Yeah, I know, but i rather have it so it plays a sound while attacking. Possible?



None.

Without EUDs?

No.

I doubt there's a known EUD that can do that anyway.

There isn't a way to detect if a unit loses health? I mean, it could work for close-range units then, couldn't it?



None.

HaZ, I would give up on it, the question has been asked before, it requires use of EUDs, and then extensive triggering after that, and then some, it's really not worth the effort.

Fine then, I'll give up, if you promise not to call me "HuZ" anymore.

Hear me Raor!!

Just use VHP, you can make a very easy system with a lurker/unit what i do for a very easy system is this: You have a location at the player you need VHP and when that unit dies create a new one of the same unit and subtract one mineral/death counter. So all you do is have 50 minerals= 50 health! so once you reach 0 he is actually dead... Then you have it so he has really low health so he dies in 1 hit so every time this happens it plays a certain kind of .wav!

another way you can do it.. which won't be as good is just put a location that is as big as the range as the units attack and time it as much as it takes that unit to attack and just play random wavs when an enemy steps in that location!

Someone already suggested that. Also, he said he wanted the sound to play WHILE the unit is firing.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning

fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites

fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

dumbducky -- I am so good at procrastinating

Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.

Ultraviolet -- don't count your chickens before they're hatched :P

Excalibur -- Sie is really really good and I'm glad Clans had them do the terrain for the new map. I feel like not enough of Sie's stuff will ever get used on a finished map.
