D'ni Musicbox

[Justintime9]

I've modeled a D'ni musicbox, and want to make it operate like the musicbox on relto. Now, I have two sound emitters (one for the song it plays and one for the button push sound), but can't seem to find out how to trigger the sound by pushing the button. I assume it similar to the triggered animation quickscript, but how exactly would I get it to work like the one in relto?

The one in Relto also has the additonal feature of playing ogg files located in the "MyMusic" folder. I assume you could re-use the xMusicBox Python file, but I don't know how to write the AlcScript which would create the appropriate PythonFileMod.

Using xMusicBox.py would be needlessly complicated. And the method from Uru: CC won't be multiplayer compatible anyway. The MOUL version did make an (even more complicated) attempt at multiplayer compatibility but as I recall that didn't work out too well either.

So let's keep it simple :

(this isn't multiplayer compatible either but at least it is simple )

[Justintime9]

Awesome, I'll have to try that out. Only, why is "Button emitter" and "music emitter" in twice in the script?

[D'Lanor]

One click to start the music and one to stop it. That makes two.

[J'Kla]

That has to be worth an audible Doh!

[Justintime9]

I suppose I should learn to keep my mouth shut and insert the script as it is written.

Edit: Awesome, it works great! Now, how would I go about specifying what avatar animation it uses, and animating the musicbox button being pushed? Is there some way to fit the quickscripts animation script in there?

[Trylon]

Nah, no use using a script if you're not trying to understand it.

[Justintime9]

Just because I can't write script backwards and forwards with my eyes closed doesn't mean I'm not trying. Cut me some slack here.

[D'Lanor]

Well, you didn't specify an avatar animation but somehow I expected that question. The Relto music box uses the ButtonTouch animation.
