Ability button sound

Editor Discussion
1

If any ability button is pressed (even the most common, like a-click, hold position or move), special, quiet UI sound is playing. Is there any way to get rid it?

I was also looking how to do such thing.
It’s a bit complicated, but I got it.

  • In SC2 editor press Shift+F6 or click UI-module button.
  • Right-ckick → “Add layout…” with any name you like.
  • Here is the code you have to paste inside. It will remove this sound from all 15 default buttons.
    (I use it in my 4WASD data-mod (which is 3WAD in fact, sorry :slight_smile: ) for my “RP generator” maps.)
