How do I use the vanilla alarm sound without triggers?

[zuff 10]

It's a great alarm sound and I'm a bit tired of my standard air siren. Anyone know how to use it with external scripts?

To find the name of a stock sound: Open a mission you have saved in the editor. Put a trigger down with the desired sound in the effects, name the trigger something. Then open the mission.sqm and search for the trigger name, the name of the sound should be listed there, now you can just use playSound in a script.

Alarm sounds are "AlarmSfx", "AirAlarmSfx"

Ah! I should have thought to do that! Thanks!
