FUNCTION playSound(m.soundFile AS Character, m.soundMode AS Int) TRY IF VARTYPE(m.soundMode)=[L] m.soundMode=0 && SND_SYNC ENDIF IF VARTYPE(m.soundFile)=[L] m.soundFile=[ding.wav] ENDIF DECLARE INTEGER sndPlaySound IN WinMM.dll STRING lpszSoundName, INTEGER uFlags sndPlaySound(FULLPATH(m.soundFile), m.soundMode) CATCH TO m.loError FINALLY ENDTRY ENDFUNC
