Random Sound Effects?
How would I go about setting up a system where in game a sound file would be randomly chosen from a specific list and played throughout the whole map? For example if I wanted public announcements to play in the background during gameplay, randomly chosen each time with no predictable pattern. I can't seem to find any plugins that can do this so I'm wondering if there's another way? Thanks.

Yes. The RPG Maker MV_MZ Script Calls reference document (Excel spreadsheet) has scripts for playing and controlling BGM, BGS, and SE.

I am currently making a game where the player can choose to have random BGM that cycles through based on the amount of time the player chooses. So here is how I am implementing that.

#1 Have an Array that stores all the names of the sound files that are needed.
#2 Use a Variable to randomly determine a number from the total number of sound files you have.
#3 Use that Variable in a script as the Array position to extract the sound file name at that position in the Array and store the file name in another Variable.
#4 Use the script to play the appropriate type of sound file using Variables as the necessary values.

For your specific example, you would also need to have a random Wait so the playing of sound files is at random times.

This would be a Parallel Event that runs continuously and just controls this aspect.

So the Event Waits a random amount of time, randomly picks a sound file to play under the parameters you set, then it repeats.

At least that is how I would approach it, but there may be better way.

Good luck!

Thanks for your response. I'm actually really bad at programming and I'm having trouble understanding how to implement your suggestion. I've been looking closely at the spreadsheet but I can't find anything that I know how to use to help with this. I can write code if I know what to write, but I don't know what to write.

Could you provide an example that I might be able to copy? Could you elaborate further on how to implement this? I know how to create an event that runs parallel but how can I use it with your suggestion? Thanks again.

Nevermind, I've actually figured out a way to do it. The only thing I'm having trouble with is
a random wait time but it still works fine without it.
I'm glad you figured something out. I am still implementing the functionality in my game. When I am finished, I will make a tutorial for my YouTube channel and then post a link back here in case it helps.

As far as the random wait, here is an example that you could use in the Script option of the Event Command.

// In a Script command: wait for 60~300 frames (random)

this.wait(60 + Math.randomInt(241));
