changed thingy to looping electricity sound elec1, but seems to not work ingame? i don't hear it unless it's "ambientsound"? 

Just confirmed that it doesn't work on my side

Seems to only work if i put the sound into its animation frame... but the problem is that it's not playing/looping correctly as the model doesn't have enough frames?

and adding this doesn't work (no sound plays)
