Note: The only supported audio formats are MP3, WAV, OGG, RIFF, MOD, XM, IT, S3M and PLS(e.g. Webstream).

Syntax

element playSound ( string soundPath, [ bool looped = false ] )

Required Arguments

• soundPath: The filepath to the sound file you want to play. (Sound file has to be predefined in the meta.xml file with <file /> tag.)

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

• looped: A boolean representing whether the sound will be looped. To loop the sound, use true. Loop is not available for streaming sounds, only for sound files.

Returns
