Convert sound variables to PlaySound parameters

I've found that the function parameters of PlaySound() differ from the variables usually used for sound. The definitions for ambient sound in Actor are

<uscript>// Ambient sound. var(Sound) byte SoundRadius; // Radius of ambient sound. var(Sound) byte SoundVolume; // Volume of amient sound. var(Sound) byte SoundPitch; // Sound pitch shift, 64.0=none. </uscript> To use these variables in the function PlaySound they need to be scaled: <uscript>PlaySound(SoundToPlay, SlotForSound, SoundVolume / 128, SoundNoOverride, SoundRadius * 25, SoundPitch / 64);</uscript> (The factor 25 may have a variance of ca. 5%.) --SeriousBarbie (talk) 14:59, 13 February 2016 (EST)
