&lt;br /&gt;
==Syntax== &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&amp;quot;lua&amp;quot;&amp;gt;element playSound ( string soundPath, [ bool looped = false ] )&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Required Arguments=== &lt;br /&gt;
*'''soundPath:''' The [[filepath]] to the sound file you want to play. (Sound file has to be predefined in the [[meta.xml]] file with &amp;lt;file /&amp;gt; tag.)&lt;br /&gt;

end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
