I kind of was reading...
Yes, this can be done. Not quite as nicely as if it were done by Ian, if I use the sound function, I don't believe it will account for picking randomly from any of the sounds, i.e effect_gone1.wav or effect_gone2.wav. But if you want a single sound, this could work fine!
I'll probably do it as part of my newer version of the scripts. There's a fewnew bits in there already. I should probably get cracking with that at some point.

Hi Allan,

You did keep it reasonably simple, smile.
My first priority when I get back to TB is to fix the remaining bugs.
But I'll consider adding this feature at the same time.

This particular feature could also be added as a script flag by Craig.
So you might consider beseeching him for his amazing scripting skills,
smile.

Hi Ian,
I was hoping to ask for something simple.
Is it possible to add in a flag  in effects so that a sound plays when
it's duration expires?

An example is in age of warlords. A weer warrior transformed into a
weer wolf  has about four rounds before the effect is activated due to
the zeroing  of a certain point.
Right now, it simply changes back. I would like it to make some kind
of sound so that the player has an audible clue that this happened.
I am not sure what it would be called. Maybe "activate_effect_sound"
or "end_of_duration_sound"
   ". I am not sure when it would play actually. Either when the effect
takes effect, or it's duration runs out, especially for duration=0

effects.

Hopefully I made some kind of sense on this request, grin.
