How to make a bard play songs while idle?

Hi,

My bard NPC can currently play songs that have been requested by the player.

However, I can't seem to get the bard to play songs while idling / sandboxing.

I've checked the other bards in the game (i.e. Lisette or Sven) and haven't gotten much wiser.

I see the script BardSongsScript appears to have functions to choose what songs the bard should play and to avoid repeating the same song twice.

But I can't seem to get it working / trigger it correctly.

If you know how to get a bard playing songs while idling, I would love to know how!

You have to create an XMarker heading in your inn for the bard to sandbox at. Then double click on your bard in the render window to open his ref edit box. Click on the LINKED REF tab and right-click>New in the empty pane. Add your xmarker ref there with the KEYWORD BardPlaySpot. Should work then

Thanks - its what I had already done though.

Seems the cause for why it wouldn't play randomly was because I loaded a save already inside the cell. Seems I had to load outside and then zone in for it to work. Its all good now though, thanks
