Trigger music to play in specific areas of the map

Dark_Ansem

As per title, I'm trying to make a script that will change the BGM of the area you're in once you step in the area, and revert it back once you leave the area.

This is the "in" script:

/*  name : bgm_trchange_in
    purpose : changes BGM music when the PC steps in the area

    by Dark_Ansem
*/

void main()
{
object oPC = GetEnteringObject();

if ( GetIsPC(oPC) )
    {
    PlayCharacterTheme(XX);
    }
}

And this is the "out" script:

/*  name : bgm_trchange_out
    purpose : reverts BGM music when the PC steps out the area

    by Dark_Ansem
*/

void main()
{
object oPC = GetExitingObject();

if ( GetIsPC(oPC) )
    {
    PlayOldTheme();
    }
}

However, they don't work. Any help please?

You want to use MusicBackgroundChangeNight(GetArea(oPC), ##); and
MusicBackgroundChangeDay(GetArea(oPC), ##);

## is the track reference from your ambientmusic.2da file

Oh, that could definitely be it.
I got the idea off the OC's scripts when talking with Aribeth or Aarin, what did I do wrong?

Dark_Ansem

Hold on: do I need to add "#include "NW_I0_PLOT""?

Sylvus_Moonbow

No. MusicBackgroundChangeNight and MusicBackgroundChangeDay work regardless of an include file.

Thanks. Then of course I'd just revert to original values when exiting?

Sylvus_Moonbow

Yeah.

Done, and it works, without bugs methinks.
