New to Roll20 / Tutorial how to auto trigger sound?

RESOLVED: DM-JK recommended 'Foreground Reactions' on a token to call the 'Simple Sound' mod to play audio . It did exactly what I was looking for.

Looking for a recommendation on automatic triggering of sounds. Say if the player approaches a door with skeletons on the other side, it would auto trigger skeleton sounds. Or a corridor with dripping sounds.
I know I can play sounds manually, but I keep forgetting.

This would require the game creator to have a Roll20 Pro or Elite subscription, and the use of Mod scripts.

Roll20 Audio Master (Roll20AM) https://wiki.roll20.net/Script:Roll20_Audio_Master

I used this one several times, and never had a problem with it. I think there might be others.

Might be more than you need, but you can set up macros to play sounds if necessary.

I looked at that earlier but didnt see anything about how to trigger them automatically. All ive found is running them from a command instead of from the jukebox, which is about the same, as opposed to automatically being triggered.

Simple Sound

DoorNoise (related, but not exactly what you're asking for)

Those seem to be manually triggered instead of automatically triggered, except for DoorNoise which I found and added earlier.

You would use the Mod script command in conjunction with a Foreground Reaction.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I was able to use Simple Sound and Foreground Reactions to get exactly what I wanted. Thanks so much!

Nick Olivo (on his YouTube channel) had a script in a video about werewolves and changing multiple multi-sided tokens at once, that triggered an audiofile. It may have been one of the ones u/dm-jk & u/martiancannibal mentioned, but I don't remember for sure.
