addTempSound⚓︎

This event is triggered when the game is about to play a sound from a sound generator, with tes3.say() or with tes3.playSound() with soundPath passed.

--- @param e addTempSoundEventData
local function addTempSoundCallback(e)
end
event.register(tes3.event.addTempSound, addTempSoundCallback)

Tip

This event can be filtered based on the sound event data.

Tip

This event supports blocking by setting e.block to true or returning false. Blocking the event prevents vanilla behavior from happening. For example, blocking an equip event prevents the item from being equipped.

Tip

An event can be claimed by setting e.claim to true, or by returning false from the callback. Claiming the event prevents any lower priority callbacks from being called.
