Making NPC'S get hostile when you fire a weapon

[lyosea]

I was wondering how I would go about making npcs in an interior hostile if I would to fire any weapon. I have about 10 different interiors in which the player can enter with a lot of npcs in it, but I want to make it so firing your weapon results in a penalty of npcs either being hostile or warning the player to stop firing initially before becoming hostile. I found that if you make a wall or object in the interior an activator, you can make a damage system so then when you hit it, it can call to a quest stage that makes all npcs inside hostile. But to do that would be VERY tedious to convert every static model into an activator. Is this my only solution or am I missing something here?

I did a do things to local actors on player weapon fire thing like this with a start game enabled quest attached script (super simplified):

Event OnQuestInit()
   Self.RegisterForAnimationEvent(pPlayerREF, "weaponFire") 
EndEvent

Event OnAnimationEvent(ObjectReference akSource, string asEventName) ;the only event I am registered for is player weaponfire
   If (pPlayerREF.WornHasKeyword(pHasSilencer) == False)
     pSKK_476HostileAlertFinderQuest.Start() ; fills a RefCollectionAlias with up to 8 actors within a distance 
     Alias_HostilesFound.AddToFaction(pSKK_476PlayerHostileFaction)
     pSKK_476HostileAlertFinderQuest.Stop() 
   EndIf
   ; best to add a cooldown timer else auto weapons can choke the script system
endEvent

And what do I attached this script to? It said compiled failed when I attached it to the npc refs in the cell.

That is not a full script it is an outline of a possible approach.

I would infer that this scripted solution is unfortunaltey too complex for your current level of knowledge.

Unfortunately it is too complex for me. It's alright, i'll find some way to get through it. But thanks anyway.
