Random Sound File

[Deleted]

Is there a way to make a macro that will play a random sound file out of a selection you choose? My Guildy has been playing around with attaching a sound file of Tarecgosa saying "I am with you always" when he uses the Staff mount affect, and I was wondering if you could set it to choose a random sound file.

i would like to know as well think it would be awsome

I got as far as this but I have no idea what I'm doing, so maybe someone can take over.

How to use.

I tested it Treeston and it is indeed awesome.

Well, nah.

Awsome is there anyway to make any random soundfile in game play with a click of a button or is that to hard/time consuming?

[Netherspark]

I'm guessing there theoreticly is, but the shear amount of code needed for that is far too large to make into an addon. It could possibly take months worth of endless typing too.

Limiting the number of possible sound files might work though, but it would still be a massive amount of code.

[lawomous]

About 90% of the sound files in game are random creature groaning noises from being hit. The rest are a mixed bag of more groaning noises, weapons hitting things, UI clicks, etc. Those speech files fit well with the mount in my opinion, as they are the complete set of whispers from Tarecgosa.

hmm would doing a random raid boss sentence be to much like do one for all bosses from uld so if i click it i can hear a random boss in uld talk? if its to much wich probly is can you do me random algron one that would be cool

[lawomous]

I guess... these requests are starting to not make sense anymore and these have to be put together by hand so this one does the Algalon quotes when you use a Celestial Steed and you can figure out how to make more by finding the sound files locations on google and finding the ID of the mount spell on wowhead.
