Hit Armour

Right click the link to the sample below, choose "Save target as ..." and save it with your other sounds.

• Sample - Hit Armour sound
• Trigger 1 - *absorbs*of the blow*
• Important trigger info - See below for full details of setting this up. It's trickier than most.

Yay! Another combat sound! Combat sounds are great fun but please follow the directions carefully on this one as it needs a little extra tweaking in the set up.

First, download the sample and set up the trigger as normal.

If you have implemented combat colours (from the article in the Advice section) then we now have a situation where a line of text can match two different triggers. Only one trigger will work. Even if you don't use combat colours then I imagine that this Sound section will one day contain other combat sounds, so it is best to plan ahead. The problem occurs because the part of the combat message that says (for example) "absobs some of the blow" is tacked on to a standard combat message that we may also wish to trigger off in non-armour situations.

To get round this, edit the triggers sequence number and change it to 99 (assuming your other triggers normally default to sequence 100). There are two ways to do this. Take your pick:-

1. From the main "Triggers" list, highlight the trigger and click the "Move Up" button. The "Seq" column should now read "99" for this trigger.
2. Alternatively, from the "Edit Trigger" window, manually change the value in the "Sequence" box to "99".

The final step is to add in colour for the trigger if you use combat colour. Just choose to edit the trigger and set it's colour to what ever you prefer so that it is colour coded like other combat messages. In my case I rarely wear armour, so I can colour it the same as other positive combat results.

Well, I hope you followed that ok. Enjoy the sound!
