alarm.mp3, and want it to play at the highest priority while the big attack is being cast.Step 1: Import the sound effect
- Open .
- Enter "Big attack alarm" in Phrase name.
- Click Import audio and choose
alarm.mp3. - "Big attack alarm" appears in the list with the status Imported. Click Preview to check that it sounds right.
Importing audio does not require installing the voice model.
Step 2: Reference it in Boss DBM
- Open .
- In Voice Broadcast, add this skill and choose the event Broadcast on trigger.
- For the text source, choose Phrase library reference, click Select phrase and pick "Big attack alarm".
- Set Priority to Urgent.
Step 3: Allow interruption

Sharing with teammates
When you export the loadout to teammates, the announcement bindings go with it, but the audio files do not. Have your teammates import the same
alarm.mp3 into their phrase library too: an imported phrase's ID is determined by the audio content, so the same file gets the same ID and the binding matches up automatically.
