Trigger("Player 1"){
Conditions:
Bring("Current Player", "Alexei Stukov (Ghost)", "Valefor Footsteps", Exactly, 0);
Switch("Plains 1-2", not set);
Switch("Plains 3-4", set);
Switch("Plains 5", set);
Switch("Switch20", not set);

Actions:
Move Location("Current Player", "Alexei Stukov (Ghost)", "Anywhere", "Valefor Footsteps");
Play WAV("staredit\\wav\\FS7.wav", 0);
Preserve Trigger();
Comment("FS1");


So I'm having this issue... basically the triggers are really simple: if player character is NOT in location X, move location X onto player and play FOOTSTEP sound.

It works fine, EXCEPT... there is this issue where once you STOP walking (stand still)... there will be a slight delay, and then a single foostep WAV will play. Based on my understanding of the triggers I have NO idea why it does this. -.-

Any insight?

Just here for the pie

If I remember correctly, Starcraft is terrible at playing short wavs. I've experienced this problem before as well, and the solution is to use a longer sound. You can edit the footstep sound to have null noise at the end.

Yaeh man this fixed it, great work.

With things like this once again I question that underneath all the source code starcraft, in fact, runs on magic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~SOLVED~~~~~~~~~~~~

hah yeah in the past that might've been up my alley. haven't really been mapping lately, been too busy with everything else. and kinda lost interest too tbh. just not enough people left on SC to feel worth investing the time personally.
