If you know how to use "array variables" its all very easy.
Set a bunch of sounds you like to a variable and make a trigger saying when a player types the message play <variable>

 

[undeadorcjerk]

how do you do that?

 

[DrunkenFool]

When in the trigger editor press Ctr-b to get into the variable editor.
And creat a variable for sound and click the array box and set the number of arrays to how many sounds you want.
Then in one of your mpas old triggers that uses the event "Map initialization" or "time elapst = 0 - 1 or so" And go:
Set variable <Name of variable> 1 to <sound>
Set variable <Name of variable> 2 to <sound>
Set variable <Name of variable> 3 to <sound>
Set variable <Name of variable> 4 to <sound>
Etc

Set sound[1] = firstsound
Set sound[2] = secondsound
Set sound[3] = thirdsound

Sound - Play sound[Random number integer between 1 and 3]

i did that, but when i typed -random sound in the game, nothing happened. heres what i did

variable name=randomsound
variable type= soundarray(2)
intial value= no sound <-- thats where i think i did wrong.

set randomsound1 to sound1
set randomsound2 to sound2

a=when player1 types -random sound
e=play randomsound(random integer number between 1 and 2)
