That is declaring a variable for substitution in the main body of the script. It is perfectly valid. It's not strictly necessary in such a short script, but it's very handy in longer, more complex scripts, thus a useful habit to get into. It also tends to make things much more user-friendly when reading through a script, as it reduces the amount of nesting.

There are script commands to stop current sounds and music and play something else. One approach you could try would be defining your custom track in a UTS (see one of the vanilla modules for an example, under Blueprint, Sound in KTool). Then in your encounter you'd need to fire the script through dialogue or a trigger perhaps. Something like: void main() { object oEbMusic = GetObjectByTag("UTS_TAG_HERE", 0); MusicBackgroundStop(GetArea(GetFirstPC())); AmbientSoundStop(GetArea(GetFirstPC())); // This is optional, depending on the area. DelayCommand(0.5, SoundObjectPlay(oEbMusic)); } Then you'd need a second script at the end to restart the original music/sound. If it's a cutscene, you could fire that script through dialogue again. If it's just a straight combat encounter, perhaps through the OnDeath script of the creature (someone more experienced with such things would need to chime in about that). void main() { object oEbMusic = GetObjectByTag("UTS_TAG_HERE", 0); SoundObjectStop(oEbMusic); DelayCommand(0.5, AmbientSoundPlay(GetArea(GetFirstPC()))); //Only if you stopped it in the first script DelayCommand(0.5, MusicBackgroundPlay(GetArea(GetFirstPC()))); }
