Entity description
Announcement Speaker, used in several maps it uses the NPC response context system. You can specify time between announcements. When it makes an announcement, it looks at its Context rule script, chooses the best rule (Response Contexts and Concept name are used here.), then dispatches a response which could be a .vcd scene that controls an NPC, a sentence, or just a sound. See Response System for more information about context rule script grammar.
