» Tue Nov 03, 2015 6:40 pm The mod intends to add a separate "playlist" of music to play in dungeons specifically, done by adding activators to dungeon cells. When you enter one of these cells, the music should start playing instead of whatever other music was playing beforehand, when exiting the cell the music should stop, allowing non-dungeon music to resume playing. Combat is handled differently than vanilla, combat music only plays when the player is hit by an enemy, as to avoid interrupting the music which is playing out of nowhere. As usual, after combat is over, the dungeon music should resume.
Problem is, I can't figure out how to get my scripts to act the way I want them to. Instead of only stopping the music when exiting a dungeon cell, the music will be stopped on ANY cell transition, this includes exterior cell transitions and other such nonsense where it makes no sense. Additionally, dungeon music will stop playing when transitioning from one dungeon cell to another, whereas it should just continue playing as normal.
There's also the issue that the dungeon music never resumes after combat is finished, instead the default explore playlist will start playing afterwards, ruining the atmosphere. Additionally, when the player is in combat for long enough, the dungeon music can randomly start playing again, during combat.
Here are my scripts:

Good news is, once these quirks are handled, I can release the dungeon music portion of the mod, and will have a solid foundation for the rest of the mod as well. Thanks for the Help in advance!
