ACT Discord Triggers

An Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) plugin that plays your triggers — text-to-speech and sound effects — through a Discord bot in a voice channel, so your whole party hears them. Works with ACT Custom Triggers and Triggernometry.

🔀 This is the actively maintained fork of Makar8000/ACT-Discord-Triggers, revived after Discord's DAVE end-to-end voice encryption — now mandatory for voice channels — broke the original. It's been rebuilt to support DAVE, so it works with Discord again. Everything it needs is bundled in the download — there's nothing extra to install.

✨ Features

  • 🔊 TTS in voice chat — fire trigger text-to-speech straight into a Discord voice channel.
  • 🧠 Neural voices — an optional ONNX engine plays natural-sounding neural voices (60+ across several languages), downloaded on demand; or use the offline Windows (SAPI) system voices with nothing to install. Both are explained in Settings & Configuration.
  • 🎵 Sound-file triggers — play sound effects through the bot in .wav, MP3, OGG, or FLAC (see Supported audio formats).
  • 🎚️ Concurrent playback — overlapping triggers mix together instead of queueing, so nothing gets dropped or delayed.
  • 🎲 Random sound effects — optionally add a random audio effect (echo, reverb, pitch-shift, and more) to triggers as they play, just for fun.
  • 📈 Auto-leveling — automatically evens out the volume so every callout and sound plays at a consistent level.
  • 🔐 Discord DAVE support — speaks Discord's end-to-end voice encryption, now required to join voice channels.

🎵 Supported audio formats

When a trigger plays a sound file, the bot plays it into the voice channel. It supports several common formats:

Format Extension Notes
WAV .wav Uncompressed. The only format ACT's built-in triggers can use (see below).
MP3 .mp3 Common compressed format.
OGG .ogg Ogg Vorbis.
FLAC .flac Lossless compressed.

You don't need to worry about technical details — the bot automatically converts your file to whatever Discord needs, so it just works.

Which formats you can use depends on the trigger system:

  • ACT Custom Triggers (built-in) can only attach a .wav file — that's a limitation of ACT's own interface, not the plugin. With vanilla ACT triggers you're limited to WAV.
  • Triggernometry (add-on) can point a trigger at any audio file, so it's how you use MP3, OGG, or FLAC. Route its audio through ACT (see the FAQ) and point your trigger at a file in one of the formats above.

💡 In short: use .wav for plain ACT triggers; use Triggernometry if you want MP3/OGG/FLAC sound effects. Either way the file plays through the bot for the whole party to hear.
