Expanded PlaySE 1.0.0

Introduction
This plugin adds a simple but powerful Plugin Command utility that allows you to play sound effects with varying values of volume, pitch and pan within easily configurable ranges.

Even tiny variations in pitch and volume can do wonders in decreasing the repetitiveness of sound effects.

Features
* Plug and play with no alterations or extensions to any core scripts. Should be highly compatible unless you've overwritten the core AudioManager.playSe function -- which would be a bad idea
* Simple to use Plugin Command
* Allows setting random ranges for volume, pitch, and pan

How to Use
Put the script in your <ProjectFolder>/js/plugins folder, then select it in the editor's PluginManager. If you want to use the in-game menu, place it last in order of plugins for best compatibility.

Plugin Command
There's one Plugin Command called "PlaySE" with included help text.

Demo
The script is very simple so I've opted not to include a demo.

Changelog
1.0.0 - Initial public release

Download
The plugin is free to download; a tip is greatly appreciated but not at all expected nor required
