What is the integer in this TrigEdit trigger for playing a wav sound?

Play WAV("sound\\Protoss\\Witness\\PWiPss00.WAV", 3877);

Is it the duration of that audio file in miliseconds?

What happens if I change the number to be greater or less than the duration, will it stop short?

None.

I don't know why you have a 2nd argument for that action in the 1st place tbh. PlayWAV only takes 1 argument, the filename.

Code

function PlayWAV(WAVName)
WAVName = ParseString(WAVName)
return Action(0, 0, WAVName, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0, 4)
end

It's a duration, I don't know the exact mechanics but I know the purpose is to have WAVs play more accurately when their length cannot be auto-determined; you're best off setting it to the duration, in game seconds, of the WAV.

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

[08:48 am]

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

*Pluto's wraiths

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

[2026-9-21. : 4:14 pm]

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?

[2026-9-21. : 3:44 pm]

Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it

[2026-9-21. : 2:58 pm]

Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
