icon = 'gold coins.dmi'

var
amount //define the amount var.
sound


verb
Get()
set src in oview(0) //set this verb so you only have it if you are one space away
usr.Gold += amount // add the amount of gold to the users gold

That's wrong.
sound('Pickup_Gold.wav')

will play the Pickup_Gold.wav when the user picks it up.

Please don't give bad advice. And please, please use <dm></dm> tags next time.

SomethingToFunnelSoundTo<<sound("filename",repeat=0)

Actually, he wasn't giving advice. He was bumping.

yes follow artemio's advice plz put dm tags around code. here is what it should look like

 usr or src << sound('(name here).wav or .mid')


that will play the sound without a loop.

with a loop add a ,1 after '(name here).wav or .mid'
 usr or src << sound('(name here).wav or .mid',1)//the ,1 makes it loop

No, it won't. sound() only creates a /sound datum; it does not send it to anybody. For a player to hear a sound you have to send it to them.
