StartSound

For SuperWeaponType

Flag:	StartSound
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Names of Sounds)
Default:	none
Applicable to:	SuperWeaponTypes

Only used for Type=ForceShield super weapon to play a sound effect when it is activated.

For VoxelAnims and Animation

Flag:	StartSound
File(s):	rules(md).ini for VoxelAnims, art(md).ini for Animations
Values:	Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Names of Sounds)
Default:	none
Applicable to:	VoxelAnims, Animations

The sound effect played when a (Voxel) Animation is initially created.

Notes

For non-Voxel Animations, Report is more commonly used to specify the sound, with the following rule:

• For an Animation's sound effect, first look for StartSound.
  • If it exists, use it and exit.
  • If not, then try to find Report.

Since the few instances of using StartSound on Animation did not actually appear until the art.ini of Red Alert 2, this might be a version compatibility measure by Westwood.
