Description

Description:

Make unit say given sound. The sound is defined in CfgSounds. If the unit is a person, it will also perform 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.
