Event sound triggers?

[AstroCat]

I noticed some events have sound triggers and some do not. Is this something that can be added to existing event pop ups easily?

[sPzAbt653]

Yes, they can be added easily. Have you looked at the scripts ? Its the fourth entry, 'Sound =' [:)]

[AstroCat]

Do you know where the one is for the Research completed event? Can't seem to find it, but I'd like to add a sound trigger for Research complete. Some events have sounds but a lot don't, I think it would be cool if a lot more where added.

Each research completed event (like the one for heavy tanks) should be located in the popup-script folder...but the regular "research completed" messages at the end of a turn seem to be hard coded.

Ahh, bummer. I thought it would be cool to have a Research completed SFX as it's a positive game moment.

Also some sounds have multiple options, explosion1, explosion2, etc... some do not. If I wanted to add more to a series that only has one like operational_movement it doesn't seem to work.

For example: operational_movement can not be deleted or the game won't start but if I leave and create operational_movement1 and operational_movement2 the new ones don't play.

Any way around this?

Thanks!

Yep. I've already mentioned this in the wishlist during the beta test. The easiest way to manage the shared sounds of units would be the possibility of direct addressing in the unit menu of the editor. But I think sooner or later each unit will have an individual bunch of sounds. For the sake of simplicity, these can be content identical in the case of a comparable source (infantry march) but the sounds could also be significantly more varied.

I used one of yours to change the HQ movement sound [I didn't like the original one]. I renamed the original [to keep it as a backup] and then named yours as the original. Can't you do that with your operational_movement ?

[AstroCat]

Yes that is no problem, the issue is when you want multiple options and the system is not setup for it, such as explosion1, explosion2, etc... If there is no "1" "2", already there, there is no way to add more, you can only replace the original.

For example, I wanted multiple train SFX for operational_movement, but there is no way to currently do that, only replace.

I really hope they can make this system more flexible or expand the sound triggers of the units.

I think he does not mean the exchange of a sounds, but adding additional alternatives for automated varying sound effects. The game obviously does not automatically recognize that another option has been added here. Also this is hardcoded.
