Ah, ok, I understand now, thanks. Yeah, some effects wouldn't need a sound, but
maybe some would, for instance, what about a unit that is on fire? Would there
be a sound played everytime the fire did damage every turn? Just some thoughts.

Perhaps I should clarify what I meant. You already hear a sound for when a
unit attacks, but I think it would be cool if you heard a sound for the unit
getting hit. What I had meant by objections was if a unit takes damage from an
overtime affect such as poison you would not hear the getting hit sound again

Lol, my sounds must have super sucked.
I am not sure what you were referenceing int he beginning about objections,
unless you mean the effects sound announcement. I think My email is either slow
or something.
Anyway, I like the idea of those sounds being placed in like that. I have
lots of whooshes and lots of thuds and hits, but very few of them are actually
connected in one sound.
The only problem is that right now, I have started to notice some some
sound hiccups. It isn't often and it isn't reproduceable in a consistent
manner, but I do notice it in the zombie map a bit.
Sometimes a death sound will happen before the attack sound is played,
sometimes the death sound is not played at all. If those sounds you are talking
about are able to be consistent I think it will be cool.
So, if there is a sound with all the whooshes and grunts and whatnot are
included, would that still be able to be used? For instance the Red wall abbey
map has good sounds that feature several elements already. It sounded like it
wouldn't be a problem but I wanted to make sure I read that right.
How would that work? Would the full sound be labeled as the pre one?
Looking forward to dev 3!

Ok, unless anybody objects I could do this whenever damage is inflicted.
Additionally I'm thinking of having sounds like this:
attack_pre.wav
attack.wav
warrior_hit.wav
attack_pre would happen first, then when it finishes the 2 other sounds
would play together.
In this way you could have an attack_pre sound for an arrow flying and a
sound for it making contact would play at the same time as the grown of
the warrior.
Similarly a sound for creating and firing a fireball could be
fireball_pre, then when it finishes the explosion sound and the unit
getting hit sound would play at the same time.
Potentially for a fireball since it does splash damage all the units hit
would play their pain sounds at the same time as the explosion.
I think that allows for a reasonable amount of flexibility.
And if you don't have all those sounds then attack_pre versus attack are
pretty much the same and you can have the current kind of behavior.
