[LE] How to force Boss Battle Music to play.

[SerchBoogie]

Hi.

 

I'm working on a Mod for Vanilla Skyrim (no SE), and I want any of the Dragon Boss Music tracks to play during the battle with my custom Bosse,

 

The problem is that I can't make it happen, I've tried a lot of things and it just won't happen.

 

1.- I've already added the "ActorTypeDragon" keyword to my actor: Nothing.

2.- I've changed the combat style to boss, and added my Boss to the dragon faction; nothing

3.- I've followed the tutorials on how to add your custom music, I've created the track, the music type, the Music folder, the song is in .wav format (ck no longer accepts other), I've created my custom keyword: Nothing

4.- I've added this script on my actor: nothing

 

Scriptname MusicaJefe extends Actor

MusicType property MUSCombatBoss Auto

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor akTarget, int aeCombatState)
if (akTarget == Game.GetPlayer())
if (aeCombatState != 0)
MUSCombatBoss.Add()
endif
endif
endEvent


Event OnDying (Actor akkiller)
MUSCombatBoss.Remove()
endEvent

 

5.- I've done all at the same time, custom music, default music, both keywords and the script: NOTHING!!!!.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

After hours of googling, reading forums and testing, I have the impression that THIS is hard coded in the game. This little piece of... game will play the damned music whenever it feels like, apparently it depends of the character level or enemy level, combat style maybe I don't know but sometimes it plays the music, sometimes not. I've tried with low level characters and nope, same problem, sometimes yes, sometimes not, most of the times not.

I hate modding this game!, how something this simple and basic can't be done easily?. This is so frustrating, my mod fall a part if there is no boss battle music.

 

What can I do to force the boss battle music to play every times?. Thanks.

Pretty sure this is keyed off your level or weapon level ...

 

(test 1) Ran to dragon with full gears/weapon = no music

(test 2) Ran without weapon = music plays

(test 3) Without armor = music plays

(test 4) No weapon/armor = music plays

(test 5 and 6) Ran with full gears/weapon = no music,

took off weapon during fight and boss music started immediately.

(test 7) Ran with full gears/weapon = no music,

waited a while and normal environmental theme played, took off all armor and boss music started immediately.

Did you really make those tests?. O.O

I hope some Scripting Guru see this and throw me a bone here. I'm lost.

No I didn't, took it off a post I seen. However I do know this is a fact ...

Only time you hear "boss music" is when you're screwed. lol

Aka: "run for your life" music.

 

I was just thinking about this and you could try setting the music priority.

I forget if it's higher or lower ... but that's how music overrides other music.

Was looking around for something else and came across an old script of mine ...

Hope this helps. You place the script right on the boss.

 

Scriptname _XXX_BossMusic extends ObjectReference

;* Boss Music

Actor Property PlayerRef Auto

MusicType property BlankMusicType Auto

Sound Property BossMusic Auto

Int BossMusicID

Event OnCombatStateChanged(Actor akTarget, int aeCombatState)

if (akTarget == Game.GetPlayer())

if (aeCombatState != 0)

BlankMusicType.Add()

BossMusicID = BossMusic.Play(PlayerRef)

endif

endif

EndEvent

Event OnDying (Actor akkiller)

Sound.StopInstance(BossMusicID)

BlankMusicType.Remove()

EndEvent

Can't say for sure if it works but I did save it in my archives so ....

I see it has a Game.GetPlayer() so it must have been a ruff draft.

But, I don't archive scripts unless they work or are very close to it.
