Where you hear it
peonwhat2.ogg is one of four 'what' lines a peon speaks when selected. In Warcraft III, these responses played each time a player clicked a peon to give an order. The set includes the famous 'Something need doing?' among others, though file numbers do not reveal which is which without listening. This take is barely half a second long. It makes a quick, characterful question-mark notification.
TriggerA peon voice line; in Warcraft III the 'what' set played when a peon was selected.
