comment

Creates a sound handle.

note

You can only play the same sound handle once.

note

You can only play the same sound filepath four times.

note

Sounds of the same filepath (on different sound handles) must have a delay of at least 0.1 seconds inbetween them to be played. You can overcome this by starting one earlier and then using SetSoundPosition.

note

You can only play 16 sounds in general.
