Its probably hardcoded to exact dota towers and does not work for custom units based on them. Just play announcer sounds when your tower attacked (with cooldown), destroyed, etc. If you use dota announcer sound events it should consider player specific announcers

You can also try SetAnnouncerDisabled(false) and SetAnnouncerGameModeAnnounceDisabled(false) because valve may set true for this things as default values

oh, thank you. i'll check.

I have another problem with emitsound. i threw everything in correctly, even took other people's files and tested. When I run the map through hammer, there are no custom sounds. I press full compilation on vsnd file - sounds appear. but if I restart the game completely - again they are not played. (it works fine with default dota global sounds)

Thats because sounds must be precached before you can use them. Some of dota sounds precached by prewarm or hero pick

precache the sound, search precache in helpdesk
