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.

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
