Answer 1

It would be good to know, how you run the script.

I will assume that you are running it via the console command lua_openscript, which executes a script serverside. Its important to notice that sound.PlayFile is not available on the serverside. You either need to network this to the client or change your code to not use that function.

In addition to that, your code is missing some key options like a Vector for the position at the second argument.
