Description
Plays a sound on an entity. If run clientside, the sound will only be heard locally.
If used on a player or NPC character with the mouth rigged, the character will "lip-sync". ( Does not work with all sounds )
| NOTE |
You can only override the volume and pitch if you use a direct filename, not a sound script name. |
| NOTE |
It is recommended to use sound scripts ( see sound.Add ) over direct file paths. This will allow you to use Entity:StopSound to stop the played sound scripts. |
| NOTE |
When using this function with weapons, use the Weapon itself as the entity, not its owner! |
| BUG |
This does not respond to SuppressHostEvents. Issue Tracker: #2651 |
