To make a gesture do you have to use a full perm sound

[Neskers]

Or is it possible to add a sound with no transfer?

Hello Neskers. Animations and sounds must have full permissions to be included in a gesture. This is because a gesture functions like a "wrapper" that references individual animations and sounds. If an animation was no-transfer but the gesture could include it, that'd be an unfair way to work around the creator's permissions. A similar case applies for non-copyable animations and sounds.
