play sample: incoming transmission <Var/Number>, from object <Value>

[mark_a_condren]

play sample: incoming transmission <Var/Number> , from object <Value>


<Var/Number> = The id number for the required sound file.
<Value> = The object sending the transmission.


Sends a voice message to the player with news of a hail, incoming transmission, scan, or SOS depending on <Var/Number>.
<Value>, The obvious intention was to also support informing the player of which ship originated the message, but as of version 1.4 of X² – The Threat, this does not function.


Example:


play sample: incoming transmission [IncomingTransmission.Message], from object null

OR

play sample: incoming transmission 1361, from object null

The player will recieve the "Incoming Transmission" speach when either of these commands runs.
