Zealot sounds through fog

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Problem:
I can hear default Zealot combat sounds through the fog.

Situation:
I've more than 60 Zealots in an area on the map. These belong to player 13 and 14 which fight against each other.
You, player 1, have no vision of that area, but you can hear some sounds.

This map was a real map once, but I reverted/deleted everything to find the cause of the problem, but I failed.
There are no data module changes left in the map.

Map file:
http://www.4shared.com/file/MbkJuIOt/ZealotSoundsThroughFogProblem.html

Feel free to tinker with it and try to solve the problem.

I would like to fix the problem, but I don't know why this is happening. Maybe you guys know more or got an idea...

edit:
I'm able to recreate it on a new map:

1. create new map (default settings). Make it smaller to make it easier to find.
2. place around 30 zealots for player 13, place around 30 zealots for player 14 next to them to make sure the zealots engage after map start
3. test the document
4. zoom in and hold the middle mouse button to scroll around.
-> I'm able to hear the Zealot weapon's impact sound through the fog.
It works with broodlings, too.

I already experienced this bug half a year ago, but first I thought it was my fault somehow. Damn u, ts2 map. ;D

SOLUTION

Probably a bug that's always been in the game, to fix it you could try finding a combat sound that doesn't have this problem, look at it in the Sounds tab and compare its properties to those on the broken zealot sounds.

I won't do anything to fix this as this bug should exist in every multiplayer team game. It's just unusual that you zoom into the fog where a lot of melee units are fighting. :S
It's definatly Blizzard has to fix as it's clear that nothing should come through the fog to the player as long as his units aren't attacked.

FIXED IT:
You need to edit the actor "GenericAttackImpactSound". Set the property "CActor_InheritType" to "Continuous" from "OneShot".

The problem seems to be that the sound didn't receive the correct visibility when it was created for some reason.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
