PlaySound exists both as an ACS function and as an EDF codepointer. Syntax differs.
ACS function
Description
This is an ACS built-in function.
Plays sound on a tagged thing.
Usage
void PlaySound(int tid, str sound [, int channel [, fixed volume [, bool looping [, fixed attenuation]]]])
Parameters
- tid: tag of thing to play the sound
- sound: name of sound to play
- channel: optional, one of the eight channels to play sounds from. Default: CHAN_BODY. Possible values are: CHAN_AUTO, CHAN_WEAPON, CHAN_VOICE, CHAN_ITEM, CHAN_BODY, CHAN_5, CHAN_6, CHAN_7.
- volume: optional, default 127*512=65024 (0.9921875). Volume of sound to play. A value of 1.0 is close to the default.
- looping: whether to loop the sound (default: FALSE).
- attenuation: attenuation, how much to fade sound with distance, default ATTN_NORM. Note that despite this being a fixed-point number, it really only results in some specific attenuation patterns. Expected values are: ATTN_NONE, ATTN_NORM, ATTN_IDLE and ATTN_STATIC.
Return value
Examples
No examples given.
Notes
No particular notes.
This function's identification in zspecial.acs
is: -61:PlaySound(2,7)
.

EDF codepointer
Description
Plays a sound.
Usage
- action PlaySound
- misc1 sound_name
- misc2 volume
Parameters
- misc1 = Sound mnemonic or DeHackEd number to play (must be valid, no default)
- misc2 = Select sound volume
- 0 = normal (default)
- 1 = full volume
Examples
No examples given.
Notes
Causes the object to emit the sound indicated by the provided sound mnemonic or DeHackEd number, at the indicated volume level.
If the sound name or number is invalid, nothing will happen.
Can be used with PlayerThunk.
For Decorate availability, use PlaySoundEx instead. The offset(misc1, misc2) specifier can also be used in Decorate for this codepointer, but you're forced to use the DeHackEd number in misc1, cannot use the actual name.
