## Play Sound
This trait allows you to specify a command that plays an audible sound. Menu Text: The name of the menu item in the right-click menu Keyboard Command: The keyboard shortcut for the command Sound Clip: Select a file in .au, .aiff, or .wav format to add it to the module. The sound file specified in this field (after substituting any Properties during play) will be played when the action is invoked. Send sound to other player: If selected, then the sound will be echoed to other players when playing live or reading from a logfile. Otherwise, the sound is only audible to the player who invoked the command. |
