Hi, I'm using a Lucasarts speech style. I'd like to add a sound when the player hovers over the dialogue options. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Hi, always use the Autofill function in script and look there.
If you type Dialog in a script you'll get a lot of different suggested options, then click on one of those and push F1, then the manual opens that section.
Hope you'll find what you're looking for. As for if it's possible. I don't know, i'm pretty new to AGS aswell, but using autofill function and F1 is your second best friend. Best friend (usually) is this forum if you'll get a reply.
I hope some of the more accomplished users can shine in here and help you out!
Andrea1992, look into Custom dialog option rendering in your manual: https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/CustomDialogOptions.html
Thw downside is that you will have to also script drawing option text yourself, but you may copy standard code, and on upside that will let you customize anything if needed.
There are code examples illustrating how to detect which option is under cursor.
Use "dialog_options_repexec", but use a variable to remember last option that cursor was on, and test if it has changed or not, to avoid starting same sound endlessly.
Also consider adding an option to your in-game settings to turn off the sound... ;)
Crimson Wizard Thanks a lot!
