You post all scripting issues in DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT, not technical support.

If you want to play a sound the moment the player looked at the object you forced him to look at, you need to provide a callback for the StartPlayerLookAt function and in that callback play the sound. If you want text to appear on screen for the player, use SetMessage.

You can create an area around the statue that dissappears after use. This depends on how far away the statue is though. I think there's a box called PlayerLookAtCallback, just fill that in with the desired callback name e.g. "AreaLookAtStatue" or something.

You could also add another timer like 1.5f or 1.0f that when that triggers the message shows.

Is the sound a custom sound? If so, how did you convert it to .ogg? simply renaming it .ogg won't do it. I use Audacity when making sounds and then export them as .ogg
