Is there an easy/good way to play a sound file continuously? Basically I have an alert which sends a message to a specific client, which simply opens up a message box. I also play a sound (one of the default Window sounds). But, what if I want to loop this sound over and over until they acknowledge or tag change?

I’m sure I could script something, but was hoping I missed an already present feature.

Assuming this is the Vision sound player component, there’s a loop count property:

Yep, sadly enough I didn’t know that component existed. Sorry for wasting time. Kind of sad I missed it.
