I have an NPC marabi (let's call him oDog) who wanders about using an ambient move pattern.  I also have a trigger w/script set up and tested, which oDog triggers to set a plot flag.  But when he triggers it, I would also like him to bark (using ss_dog_bark_angry_loud_double or something equivalent) .  After spending a bit of time in the wiki - which seems more geared toward adding sounds than using existing ones - I still haven't figured out exactly how to do it.

I've tried a couple of different things (but since none of them worked, there's little sense in going details), but would rather start from scratch with questions.

Is it possible to use a trigger script to make an NPC use a soundet WITHOUT scripting a conversation? Or do I need to have the trigger script kick off a conversationeven though I do not expect my PC to speak?

Does an NPC animal need a soundset conversation as part of his UTC?

If the PC is present as the trigger is tripped (likely but not certain - one reason I want a bark is to draw attention), I want the dog to look like he's barking, not just play the sound.  Is this possible without a cutscene? I'm not opposed to doing it that way, but I would like to keep it as simple as possible.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

(I apologize if this post wold be more fitting for the sound forum. I posted it here because I'm trying to use a script to do it, or at least to start it.)

FWIW, I ended up making a 3-second cutscene of it, which does exactly what I want and frankly looks far better than what I was thinking about doing. The PC is not in it, so it can be kicked off wherever the character might have wandered off to (it is attached to a trigger tripped by oDog). Under the old idea, the PC would have had to have been nearby to understand why Mrs. Schmooples is suddenly lying dead on the kitchen floor.
