Speaker Type : entity
Name OR classname of monster who will "speak" this sentence. If classname is specified, the search radius is used (sentence is activated when monster with specified classname reach radius). Click HERE for the list of monsters classnames.

Can be activated only once.
2 : Followers only
Speak only if this monster is following player (by 'USE' follow command).
4 : Interrupt Speech
override current speech on affected monster (including default ones). Still some monsters interactions can break this sentence.

Sound files are precached automatically (unlike sentences in monster classes).
