Triggering a sound within a mod

[WillWorthington3]

Howdy,

 

Was wondering if there was a script command or some other way to trigger a sound.

 

I was kinda hoping to be able to use the "Welcome Home" greeting you get when you join the Dark Brotherhood and have it play every time I walk in the door =P

 

Call me creepy, but I think it'd be kinda cool.

 

I figure this involves the use of an X Marker, but I don't know much beyond that, lol

 

I did some digging and found the correct wav file (Which isn't as easy as it sounds, grr)

PS: I have a basic understanding of scripting, but Bill Gates doesn't need to worry at night.

 

Anyone ever thought of doing this or am I thinking waaaay too far out of the box?

I just put it in a script? What do I use to trigger it?

Am I in the wrong forum or is it just a bad time of day?

Bad time of day. You can use the command Playsound (SoundID) to make it play. I wouldn't use it if it's a long sound, like you want to stream music, though, because it can be unpredictable after a while about cutting off. It's best for short to medium length sounds.

 

My favorite method of using Playsound is to utilize a TriggerBox for it. You make a new triggerbox, and use a simple script on it to play the sound the first time the player walks through it.

 

SCN (Scriptname)

short DoOnce

begin OnTrigger
    if getactionref == player
         playsound (SoundID)
         set DoOnce to 42
    endif
end

Interestingly enough I came to the same conclusion, but after much trial and error. Guess I should have checked back here, lol

 

Oh well, learning and all that I guess.
