say

Description

Make unit say given sound. The sound is defined in CfgSounds. If the unit is a person, it will also perform the corresponding lipsync effect provided an appropriate .lip file has been created for this sound.

• A dead or non-existent unit obviously cannot say anything.
• If the camera is not within given range, title is not shown and the sound will not be heard.
• See also playSound in order to play a sound wherever the camera/player is.

Note

say will mimic either say2D or say3D depending on whether it is executed in a cutscene or in a game scene.
