need help with the bard's script for a custom follower

[Tasheni]

Dear guys, the whole day I tried to get my follower to play instrumental at request. I copied the "BardSongs" to MyBardSongs and edited the mainscript to fit only instrumental playing. Copied also the BardSongsInsrumental to MyBardSongsInsrumental and pointed the VMQuest-Variable from the scene to MyBardSongs. Scene is triggerd by dialog.

First issue: My follower shows the dialog and gets to the playspot and plays - without music.

The second issue: I can't get her to play again despite the dialog with the triggering script shows up correctly.

 

Before I pointed the VMQuest-Variable, my follower doesn't played, but the music started. I was puzzled and thought, that this must be this variable, that triggered the sound.

 

I'm really confused, please, can someone help me to get wise? I appreciate your help.

Perhaps I'm thinking to complicated. I'm new to modding, but I need this to work, as I will implement my own lorefriendly songs from stories and books all over tamriel in this mod.

I have now looked at the scripts and scenes from Anduniel and Vilja - the last is way to difficult for me to understand, but Anduniel uses clear structures, I could track.

I want to play music at request and some, if npc is idle with the opportunity to stop through player. I don't want to replace the bard's music and I don't need to play their songs. It is also not necessery to play in taverns, that owns a bard, but player homes or camps in the wilderness would be great.

 

MY Questions so far:

Is it possible to trigger music scenes without having an own set x-marker, but using any other markers as well?

How do I attach the animation to the scenes? What is the best way to do that?

 

Please, guys, I would really love to get further with this - and perhaps one day six new followers will be released - with them two charming men :geek:

By the way there will be no bard among them, only the chronist and the scout will sing or play sometimes, but it should not get on ones nerves and the songs will be completely new.

I'm not 100% regarding bards (so probably not the best person to assist)...

 

But you can call audio fromantic anywhere

 

For example mysound.play(akSpeaker) ;would play your sound marker from the speaker

 

However, it's the animation part I'm unsure of, as I've not meddled much. Try looking into play animation scripts ;)

Okay, thank you, should not be a great problem after I figured out how to start with that.
