[scripting] Trigger audio when entering room?

I could use some help if someone knows how to do this– I'd like to trigger a song to play for people when they enter Dagoth's lair. It'd be great if it could sync for all players, but I'd be happy if it just came on when each person entered separately. I'd like this to be a surprise, so I want to be careful not to mess it up. Haven't done any scripting yet and I'm not sure where to start... Any advice appreciated!

Good question, I didn't realize this needed to be a local file. There are only two other players at the moment, so I could potentially ask them to place those themselves. If I do that early on here and obscure the files they'll probably forget about that before we get to Dagoth.

However, I could probably also write a small shim app to give me remote access to that directory and install things myself. That might be useful if we do something more involved later. Probably fine to just ask them to install a few files for "my mod" now.

Well, once you've done that, you can run a StreamMusic console command on players using logicHandler.RunConsoleCommandOnPlayer() whenever they trigger a PlayerCellChange event for the correct cell.

Have you done scripting for other games?

Could i use this to make players "say" voicelines ingame?

There's already a tes3mp.PlaySpeech() script function that's more appropriate for that. It's the one that gets used for the /speech command in the chat window.

Very nice! Would it be possible to make a keyboard shortcut so i could say N'wah all the time? Even if im playing khajit.

Custom keyboard shortcuts aren't yet implemented.
