EQEmulator Forums - Getting an NPC to play a custom MP3 file in LUA.

Hello,

I'm new here to EQemulator and are in the process of building a unique server called The Hungry Vulture. The problem that I am having is getting an NPC to play the custom voice mp3 that I created for it. I appreciate any help somebody could offer.

Edited & Solved: After a little troubleshooting and experimenting, I figured out you need to do it with a quick Set_Timer while also finding the client with the npc. I'll leave this working example here.

Code:

function event_say(e)



    if(e.message:findi("hail")) then

        client_to_check=eq.get_entity_list():GetClientByID(e.other:GetID());

        eq.set_timer("greeting", 100); -- 0.1 seconds

        e.self:Say("Test");

    end



end





function event_timer(e)



    if (e.timer == ("greeting")) then

           e.self:Say("Timer Works");

           client_to_check:PlayMP3("Corpsepicker_Greeting.mp3");

           eq.stop_timer("greeting");

    end



end
