I don't want to pick a sound from the entity's sound list:

Sound(e,1)

I would rather something that functions as follows

"Sound = "audiobank\misc\poop.wav"

There has to be a simple sound queue command, right?
I tried to find an example but every script seems to do something within a certain context like so:

;Sound
soundset = audiobank\misc\health.wav

or

PlaySound(e,0)

I tried
PlaySoundFile("audiobank\\misc\\mysound.wav")
But it didn't work (also tried with single backslashes but it didn't like the escape sequence.

Do you really need more than 5 sounds for one entity?

If you want non-entity sounds, like ambience/music, use GlobalSound commands, you can load as many samples as you want.
Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

I don't need more than five, I simply don't want to fill in the slots by giving context in the custom AI for the sound.
What might an example of a global sound command be? Again I thought PlaySoundFile was one but it didn't work.

Oh, I am so silly!



This is the working script, I don't really know much about coding let alone Lua so this took me a bit haha. But its here if anyone else as inept as me wants to use it. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time.
