I have been searching for a Musical piece or 2 for the Inn I have made in my Mod. Alas to no avail

Most of you have heard a musical score play in most RPG Games when you enter a (Inn). So I was wondering can anyone direct me to a site where the Music File would either be free or low cost?

Thank you.

You can get read of it by using GameMode.fadeOut(color, length) as soon as the fade out begins.
But since the stairs going up/down camera animation doesn't finish on the height of the other elevation, it'll just jump forward and look weird.

That's what I'd thought. Which is why I brought up using the ladder code. Though with the lack of information available; this makes me suspect they are hard coded.
Like, if the ladder had components for defining start(x,y,z,f,e), end(x,y,z,f,e), climbSpeed(), or something, and then it would average translation @climbSpeed from A to B.
I kind of feel like it does something similar for the stairwells as it currently does with ladders. Just the way the party 'grips' to them. I feel like that's the bit not in the API.

I know all the Attack Swipe models are in the asset pack, using "swipe01" material.
...and also that we can set new materials/textures etc etc
Just wondering if we can actually override / replicate / mimic the Attack Swipes ??
Ta!

I did for my Tiger Strength potion; but was a bit of a kludge, and is more of an additive effect.

This was done by adding a disabled model to the party, and toggling it on/off for any melee attacks. Each time they attack... the custom swipe effect is shown, and then disabled.
**It might also be possible to make a particle effect, and just spawn one in front of the party with each attack; I didn't try that though.
IRRC the engine calls the swipe model files by name, so there didn't seem to be a way to redefine or override that. If it exists as a model component [somewhere], then it might be possible to override that once the name is known ~if such is the case.

Cheers Isaac!
Sorry for the late reply - I actually attempted the method you described (but kind of decided to be complicated again )
Interesting - these swipe models possibly existing somewhere as a Model component...? Surely it would be attached to the Party?
Anyhow - this was the model component I used ...

{
			class = "Model",
			name = "swipe_horizontal",
			model = "mod_assets/models/swipes/swipe_claw_Holy01.fbx",  
			onInit = function(self)
				self:disable()
			end,
		},

I could use teleporters, but I want to change the direction even if the blob isn't in the center of a square.

Changing the direction to up/down can be done like this:
ProjectileComponent:setVelocity(0)
ProjectileComponent:setFallingVelocity(number)
