Syntax:
 
<syntaxhighlight>
 
startSound("filename", {flags=1, properties})
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
 
 
 
Example 1: basic play audio file method!
 
<syntaxhighlight>
 
startSound("sounds/example.ogg")
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
 
Example 2: again with properties!
 
<syntaxhighlight>
 
-- play example.ogg at 100% volume level, audio centered, from 1 second mark with loop mode on!
 
startSound("sounds/example.ogg", {flags=1, volume=100, balance=0, offset=1000, loop=true})

let's say you have an audio file with a duration of 00:03:24 & you want to start the audio file at: 2 minutes & 44 seconds;
 
so what we need to do is convert minutes/seconds into ms like so: (2*60)*1000 + (44*1000) = 164000ms
 
 
 
math explanation:
 
2m*60s = 120 seconds * 1000ms = 120,000ms | 44s*1000ms = 44,000ms
 
120,000 + 44,000 = 164,000ms

* volume: allows you to set volume level via an integer value
 
* balance: allows you to set the left/right audio balance via an integer value (-100 to 100, 0 is centered)
 
* offset: allows you to start audio file from x time via an integer value (in ms)
 
* loop: allows you to declare if audio file should loop via a boolean value (true/false)
