Downloading it now, can't wait to try it out. I like that sound
naming idea; so when random sounds come in, if you put numbers at the
end of a sound name it will pick a random one, for example if you have
attack1, attack2, attack 3 and attack4 it would pick one of those
four, but if you only had attack 1 and 2 it would only pick between
those two, or will there have to be a fixed number of random sounds,
like three for each?
