I've been trying to get a sound to play as the player enters VATS however, you don't hear the sound until after the player has exited VATS. And as far as I can tell there isn't anything wrong with the script, so I'm looking for ideas as to whats causing the sounds to delay playing until VATS is off.

Here's the script, the part with VATS is at the end.

1) Please remove all the seperate 'GameMode' blocks and put them into one GameMode block. It gains you nothing by splitting them up like that.

2) GameMode blocks 'do not' run when you are in a menu, which I would guess Vats is a sort of menu. If not, then ignore this observation. All your playsound commands are in a GameMode block which will run when out of menu mode.

Thanks for the reply, I'll put all the gamemodes into 1 block then but that doesn't solve the problem, cause I've also tried this and it doesn't work either.

Begin MenuMode 1056; 1056 is the Vats menuIf VVats == 0	If GetVATSMode > 0		PlaySound NPCMedicArmorVATSEnter		Set VVats to 1	EndIfEndIfIf VVats == 1	If GetVATSMode == 0		PlaySound NPCMedicArmorVATsixit		Set VVats to 0	EndIfEndIfEnd

I've also tried using just "Begin MenuMode" but still you don't hear the sounds until you exit VATS

I think for the first GetVATSMode you want == 2 not 1, since 2 is the menu portion of it? And put the second block (If VVats == 1) in the gamemode block since again if vats mode == none, or your not in vats, your in the game, so menumode code stops running. Then maybe it will work.

Wait I made a typo, I meant > not ==

Begin MenuMode 1056; 1056 is the Vats menuIf VVats == 0	If GetVATSMode > 0		PlaySound NPCMedicArmorVATSEnter		Set VVats to 1	EndIfEndIfIf VVats == 1	If GetVATSMode == 0		PlaySound NPCMedicArmorVATsixit		Set VVats to 0	EndIfEndIfEnd

Reguardless, place this portion in a GameMode block or it wont run.

If VVats == 1	If GetVATSMode == 0		PlaySound NPCMedicArmorVATsixit		Set VVats to 0	EndIfEndIf

Since that runs once you exit vats, which is no longer menumode, but gamemode.
