Sound ID

[Hubb777]

Hi all. Some NPCs have phrases.
For example, Myrrit has the phrase “I don’t smell anything.”
I went to Wowhead and went to the “sounds” section of this NPC, but this voice acting is not there. How can I find out the ID of this voiceover? Maybe there is a tool that will help you select a given moment from the game?

Depends if the sound is triggered from C code or originates from the UI system. Creature sounds are often the former, in which there's no way to hook it.

That is, find the sound file on Wowhead? Or is there no way to find out the ID of this phrase?

Not from the game itself.

As SDPhantom said there is likely nothing we can do to access that part of the system.

But .. we do have these chat related events

CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_EMOTE: CHAT_MSG
CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_PARTY: CHAT_MSG
CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_SAY: CHAT_MSG
CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_WHISPER: CHAT_MSG
CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_YELL: CHAT_MSG

With the Yell version having this information available

CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_YELL: text, playerName, languageName, channelName, playerName2, specialFlags, zoneChannelID, channelIndex, channelBaseName, languageID, lineID, guid, bnSenderID, isMobile, isSubtitle, hideSenderInLetterbox, supressRaidIcons

Unfortunately nothing relating to the sound itself.

This event probably triggers in the UI for addons to utilise whilst the voice over is triggered behind the scenes in the C code we don't have access to.

Thank you very much. This gave me an idea and I found the right sound.
