The voice handler is basically a simplified way in which to play complex sound events that deal with voices. It is also a way to easily handle subtitles along with the voices and play special effects track along with them. It has a queue system and keeps track of how many times a voice has been played.

Note that while often used along with the event database, these are two completely separate systems, so they should not be confused with one another.

Setup

Before calling a subject the source of the sound should be set up. This is best done inside the VoiceHandler editor itself, but can also be done using the helper function Voice_SetSource(). This sets up the entity (which can be something moving) which will emit the voice coming from the specified character. It will also set up the distance that the voice can be heard. If using the function, it's best to do this in OnEnter in the map script file.
