Command to make player play sound (again no GUI)

Brixmon:
Hey! I've got another problem here.
Pretty much the same as what I needed before, but even simpler, and for sound files this time.

This is probably a dumb question, the answer to which should be obvious to those more experienced than I, but alas, I can't decipher bldoc.nullable.se to find the information I seek, soo...

For the same reasons as before, I want to make a /command to make the player(not the client or server) play a 3d sound. Specifically, I was trying to make it randomly select a sound from a list, which I sampled Player_Overwatch for, since that Tracer playertype can play multiple random sounds for its blink ability. But I obviously messed something simple up here, I just don't know what it is.

This is the test addon's code in its entirety.

--- Code: ---//Emote_Alarm.cs

datablock AudioProfile(chrys_scream1Sound)
{
filename = "./chrys_scream1.wav";
description = AudioClosest3d;
preload = false;
};

datablock AudioProfile(chrys_scream2Sound : chrys_scream1Sound)
{
filename = "./painis_2.wav";
};

datablock AudioProfile(chrys_scream3Sound : chrys_scream1Sound)
{
filename = "./duckn_alert.wav";
};

datablock AudioProfile(chrys_scream4Sound : chrys_scream1Sound)
{
filename = "./skel_buzz_skeletonalarm.wav";
};

function serverCmdhorrortest(%client)
{
if(isObject(%client.player))
%pl.schedule(1,playAudio,4,chrys_scream @ getRandom(1,4) @ Sound);
}
--- End code ---

Clearly a simple error, as the console spits this out when I try the test command.

And of course, it doesn't play the sound. To clarify, I did check that the sounds worked. They do... even though it took me like two days to figure out that they had to be 16-bit PCM wavs.

Shift Kitty:
Because you're calling a function on %pl when that variable is never declared. Replace that with %client.player.schedule
In fact, does it even need to be scheduled?
%client.player.playAudio(4,etc); should work fine.

Some chat snips from the Blockland Content Creators should be helpful for understanding why this happened.

[1:09 PM] McTwist: Change %obj to %player. However, I'm unsure if the muzzle functions is defined in the player.
[1:10 PM] Ze Operator: worth a shot.
[1:38 PM] nul: It is
[1:38 PM] Ze Operator: Technically speaking though,
[1:38 PM] Ze Operator: isn't %player and %obj technically the same?(edited)
[1:40 PM] nul: The thing about variables is that it doesn't matter what you call them. In onTrigger specifically, you could set it up like
function Armor::onTrigger(%ass,%titty,%conan,%blocklandisdead)
and %ass would be the datablock, %titty would be the player object, %conan would be the trigger, and %blocklandisdead would be the state of the trigger.
[1:40 PM] nul: It's the order that matters, not the name.
[1:40 PM] nul: And in this case, neither %player nor %obj would be the player, they are undefined.
[1:41 PM] Ze Operator: I figured as much.
[1:41 PM] nul: In your function, %obj is never defined, but %player is.
[1:42 PM] Ze Operator: And, by the way you put it, torque is looking for a %obj because it was defined in function Armor.
[1:42 PM] Ze Operator: It's not looking for %player.(edited)
[1:42 PM] nul: When it says Unable to find object: '' That usually means the variable, in this case %obj, is completely blank.
[1:46 PM] Ze Operator: ....Now that is where sensical just lost it's meaning.
[1:46 PM] Ze Operator: -_-
[1:47 PM] Ze Operator: Wait, hang on
[1:47 PM] Ze Operator: Nope, nvm
[1:48 PM] nul: Not really. Variables can't just assign themselves values out of nowhere. There is no %obj in the function header (%this, %player, %slot, %val) and there's no %obj = ##; anywhere in the function. But don't worry about %obj, just replace all instances of it in that function with %player

Where in this case, the first variable is the client calling the command, and any following variables are the other things they type after the command.
Eg:
serverCmdButts(%butt,%leftCheek,%rightCheek)
/butts 2 4
%butt would be the client calling the function, %leftCheek would be 2, and %rightCheek would be 4.

Edit: Also, don't playAudio on slot 4 either. Change that to a number from 0-3, if I recall, any higher than that and nothing happens. Just avoid 0 because that's used by default functions (light, pain, and death).

Thanks for the help, that worked. I knew from the start that this was simple, as I pretty much copied the code. I also knew that probably wouldn't work, but I didn't know what else to do.
Thing is, I don't know the names of default variables or functions, nor what they do. The reference site I went to only seems to list them, not explain them.
I also haven't found any references for that sort of thing anywhere, which has made figuring out basic stuff like this very difficult. But that's neither here nor there- thanks a lot for the help!

Remember, try to learn the code before you test it, definitely will help with your experience

There is a user wiki for Blockland somewhere on the functions with args and descriptions

I think that a part of the reason why I had trouble with this is that I don't know of any addons that make the player simply play sounds on command, so I had nothing to directly reference. All I could think to do was cobble something together, which I knew probably wouldn't work.
One day I'll probably figure this out. I think I get how the code is structured, I feel like I moreso need to just know... specific strings. Like that client.player thing.
