have you every tried to make a hero out of a normal unit
ex: black orc, noldor warrior, gondor soldier.

Jump down to the quote tag to see how to fix two audio respawn voice's at the same time! (it's not 2 far down!)
-
i was trying to out of some of them but when i created the hero i found that when i tried him out he the dialog box wouldn't come up that said: " 'your hero' has arrived" ('your hero' being the name of your hero)
when anylising legolas.ini and seeing what my hero file didnt have that legolas did and i found this:

              

Code

Behavior = RespawnUpdate ModuleTag_RespawnUpdate         DeathAnim = DYING                ;Model condition to play when killed-to-respawn         DeathFX            = FX_LegolasDieToRespawn    ;FXList to play when killed-to-respawn         DeathAnimationTime        = 3000                ;How long DeathAnim will take.         InitialSpawnFX    = FX_LegolasInitialSpawn         RespawnAnim        = LEVELED                ;Animation to play when respawning.         RespawnFX        = FX_LegolasRespawn        ;FXList to play when respawning.         RespawnAnimationTime        = 2000                ;Time it takes for respawn to play.         AutoRespawnAtObjectFilter    = NONE +CASTLE_KEEP        ;Respawn at this location -- and at it's exit production point if possible.         ButtonImage                = HILegolas_res                  ;RespawnEntries determine the ruleset for how a character can be revived. Some units may automatically respawn, others         ;may require a specific revive action performed on him. You can specify different values for each level... or use Level:Any         RespawnRules =            AutoSpawn:No    Cost:2250        Time:60000        Health:100%        ;DEFAULT VALUES     End

it was the respawn update for legolas!

I added that to my hero made changes accordingly (to the cost and time at the bottom and the button image [the button image is the image when he dies, the respawn button {usually blue}])

i tested him in game and the dialog box came when he spawned!
but......
when he spawned I heard Legolas saying his respawn voice... so this is what you can do
              

Quote

this is where we find out on how to fix two audio respawn voices!

              

Code

DeathFX        = FX_LegolasDieToRespawn ;FXList to play when killed-to-respawn     InitialSpawnFX    = FX_LegolasInitialSpawn     RespawnFX    = FX_LegolasRespawn        ;FXList to play when respawning.

you can either do:
              

Code

;DeathFX    = FX_LegolasDieToRespawn ;FXList to play when killed-to-respawn     ;InitialSpawnFX    = FX_LegolasInitialSpawn     ;RespawnFX    = FX_LegolasRespawn        ;FXList to play when respawning.

see further down for why this works
Or you can change the FXs to something else you can find it in the audio parameters of the hero...
BUT!

this is why the 1st option works
every unit has a FX when it's horde gets created so if you do the second option it will play both at almost the same, but one will play a litle after the one starts to fix that you can find this code:(im using the rivendell lacer as a example

              

Code

; *** AUDIO Parameters ***;     VoiceAttack                    = ElfLancerVoiceAttack     VoiceAttackCharge                = ElfLancerVoiceAttackCharge     VoiceAttackStructure                 = ElfLancerVoiceAttackBuilding     VoiceAttackMachine             = ElfLancerVoiceAttack     VoiceCreated                    = ElfLancerVoiceSalute     VoiceFullyCreated                = ElfLancerVoiceSalute     VoiceGuard                    = ElfLancerVoiceMove     VoiceMove                    = ElfLancerVoiceMove     VoiceMoveToCamp              = ElfLancerVoiceMoveCamp     VoiceMoveWhileAttacking                = ElfLancerVoiceDisengage     VoicePriority                 = 19     VoiceRetreatToCastle                 = ElfLancerVoiceMoveRetreat     VoiceSelect                    = ElfLancerVoiceSelectMS     VoiceSelectBattle                = ElfLancerVoiceSelectBattle

And change the code to:

              

Code

; *** AUDIO Parameters ***;     VoiceAttack                    = ElfLancerVoiceAttack     VoiceAttackCharge                = ElfLancerVoiceAttackCharge     VoiceAttackStructure                 = ElfLancerVoiceAttackBuilding     VoiceAttackMachine             = ElfLancerVoiceAttack     ;VoiceCreated                    = ElfLancerVoiceSalute     ;VoiceFullyCreated                = ElfLancerVoiceSalute     VoiceGuard                    = ElfLancerVoiceMove     VoiceMove                    = ElfLancerVoiceMove     VoiceMoveToCamp              = ElfLancerVoiceMoveCamp     VoiceMoveWhileAttacking                = ElfLancerVoiceDisengage     VoicePriority                 = 19     VoiceRetreatToCastle                 = ElfLancerVoiceMoveRetreat     VoiceSelect                    = ElfLancerVoiceSelectMS     VoiceSelectBattle                = ElfLancerVoiceSelectBattle

But then when i was playing with him when he died his character just stood there and th death dialog box didnt come up! and i couldent respawn him! TERRIBLE!
but then i discovered this code:
              

Code

Body = RespawnBody ModuleTag_RespawnBody         CheerRadius             = EMOTION_CHEER_RADIUS         MaxHealth         = LEGOLAS_HEALTH    ;BALANCE Legola Health         PermanentlyKilledByFilter    = NONE        ;Who kills me permanently?         DodgePercent         = HERO_DODGE_PERCENT     End

it was his respawn body (adjust where needed...)
and he died properly!(sounds weird doesn't it
There is also 2 more things you will want to change:

Change:
              

Code

CrowdResponseKey = Elf //this will be whatever the faction it is in(gondor soldier = Men)

    

change it to:
(here are some examples of what you can use(and who you find them with)
              

Code

CrowdResponseKey = ElfHero //Elves CrowdResponseKey = Uruk //Lurtz, Sharku, Azog CrowdResponseKey = Goblin //Mouth Of Sauron, Gorkil The Goblin King CrowdResponseKey = Orc //Gothmog CrowdResponseKey = EvilMen1 //Saruman CrowdResponseKey = DwarfHero // Dwarves CrowdResponseKey = GoodMen // Men

    

this will make it so when he passes by other units will cher for him
this is not necessary but i reccommend it if your making a professional mod

this next step is necessary though:
this will be under engineering parameters
              

Code

RadarPriority = UNIT     KindOf = PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS INFANTRY PATH_THROUGH_EACH_OTHER SCORE THROWN_OBJECT GRAB_AND_DROP ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT

add
              

Code

HERO

to KinfOf
it will look something like this
              

Code

RadarPriority = UNIT KindOf = HERO PRELOAD SELECTABLE CAN_CAST_REFLECTIONS INFANTRY PATH_THROUGH_EACH_OTHER SCORE THROWN_OBJECT GRAB_AND_DROP ATTACK_NEEDS_LINE_OF_SIGHT

it may not look the same depending on the unit you are using
you will need to add proper string references in the lotr.str file

ex:

              

Code

DisplayName = OBJECT:ElvenMithlondSentry

if this is not changed the dialog box will say "Mithlond Sentry has arrived"
which is pretty lame
