Load up a game of CA and be sure to choose Core as your faction. (If you don't hear voices, hit F11 and enable the Voices widget.)

xta coms are able to sing (select them and press the sing-button)

the ca talking units widget is cool but can the sounds be heard by other players? the unit im making will be an enemy unit so players have to hear it,
i dont want any other units to talk just this one unit,
is there anything i can add to the fbi/lua?

xta coms singing is heard by enemies

Note that lua only has Spring.PlaySoundFile and Spring.PlaySoundStream, which lack some of the functionality of COB based unit sounds (which has a param to control who and how will hear it)

ano but you have to press a button to make it sing, the unit will be a replacement for the chicken queen it will be controlled by a bot dont see how it could work

is there not some magic code i could put in the lua/fbi file linking to some .wav files with timers?

what do you mean by cob based unit sounds?

Sounds played via the units animation script (currently only the bos/cob format not lua unit scripts)
