Enhanced hearing

Post » Mon Feb 18, 2013 1:08 am

Hello fellow modders.

My mod already contains many sophisticated beastial senses like night eye, smell, heat sense or 6th sense. However there is still one sense I miss - enhanced hearing. All the above already implemented senses (except for the night eye which is just an image space modifier albeit constantly manipulated by my script) in general detect actors (the smell can detect also water or fire and the heat sense doesnt detect fire but the image modifier still shows it as visible red so its more or less ok for me) and I think Im really good at it.

This time I want to do something else. I want to detect sounds. Now, a question: can I somehow detect not actors but very distant sounds? Can I somehow locate the kind and the location of the sound? I suspect Im propaby asking a stupid question but I have no idea how the vanilla Skyrim sound system works and how the sounds are played so the player can hear them. I will be very greatfull for any advice or sensible suggestion.
