      Would it be possible to have an event that runs whenever the player is in a fight - so that I could have battle music, which would revert to normal music when battles were over?

      Additionally, would this be possible in a plug-in?

      NPCs can launch events when they get close to the target (the player character). You can put the music launching action into those events.

      Does this work if they're not set to seek out the player? Otherwise, it seems a pretty good way to go...

      PoG has specific battle music, so I'm certain you can do this.

      Time warp, my friend? 🙂 As far as I know, PoG hasn't had combat-specific music since, oh, beta 2, when the engine would still automatically play music files "BATTLE1", "BATTLE2", or "BATTLE3" during battle... which I'm fairly sure is no longer a feature. (Though someone could check...)

      I think at this point, markborok's suggestion is probably the best way - another possibility would be to have the music change as an action linked to an enemy's attack, but I'm not sure how well that would work.

      Now there's a thought. If didn't want the NPC to be programmed to chase the player, they could be given a special sword that triggers the battle music event when used. Or perhaps can borrow a technique I developed for EVO; an invisible ranged weapon that does no damage, that allows an AI to trigger a sound effect.

      But how to loop? And how to keep it from playing multiple overlapping times? Need to set a global flag, I assume...
