the guard says nothing and his gun says nothing

Could it be that the sound files you are using are mislabeled or in the wrong format? I've never used A_SPosAttackUseAtkSound, I always use https://zdoom.org/wiki/A_StartSound and that might work better for the attack sequence.

All of the sound files I'm using are in WAV format at 7042hz, and their lump names perfectly match the names in SNDINFO.

I'm currently making another PK3 that features Waffen-SS as a secret enemy and his sounds work fine. I've tried to mirror the directions I used to create the Waffen-SS actor for the Guard actor, both with the Decorate, sound lumps and SNDINFO, but the game simply gives me two middle fingers and refuses to play the Guard's sounds, no matter what I do to try and fix that.




A_SPosAttackUseAtkSound is used in the Decorate definition for the Shotgunner on ZDoom Wiki and is a valid function in Decorate, SLADE3.
Although it might make more sense to just replace DSSHOTGN with the Wolfenstein 3D gun fire sound
