script fix?

[sand topaz]

I am trying to make a boombox that plays music, but everytime the music ends, it randomly choose a audio file from the model and plays it next

let me paste script

wait(1)
while true do
local Sounds = script:GetChildren()
local RandomIndex = math.random(1,#Sounds)
local RandomSound = Sounds[RandomIndex]
RandomSound:Play()
wait(RandomSound.TimeLength)
end

i wanna make it

so like it can be played in a prop

like with promixity audio

@sand topaz

[rugged locust]

put it in ``````

lua

like that

[sand topaz]

while true do
    local Sounds = script:GetChildren()
    local RandomIndex = math.random(1,#Sounds)
    local RandomSound = Sounds[RandomIndex]
    RandomSound:Play()
    wait(RandomSound.TimeLength)
end``````

[rugged locust]

like

but lua

is in the#

/like

hm

[sand topaz]

wait(1)
while true do
    local Sounds = script:GetChildren()
    local RandomIndex = math.random(1,#Sounds)
    local RandomSound = Sounds[RandomIndex]
    RandomSound:Play()
    wait(RandomSound.TimeLength)
end

[sand topaz]

damn

[rugged locust]

close

[sand topaz]

ok

a ```

i suck at this

[rugged locust]

close

[fervent dove]

wait(1)
while true do
    local Sounds = script:GetChildren()
    local RandomIndex = math.random(1,#Sounds)
    local RandomSound = Sounds[RandomIndex]
    RandomSound:Play()
    wait(RandomSound.TimeLength)
end

there

[sand topaz]

oh

[fervent dove]

you need 3 at the bottom as well

[sand topaz]

wait(1)
while true do
    local Sounds = script:GetChildren()
    local RandomIndex = math.random(1,#Sounds)
    local RandomSound = Sounds[RandomIndex]
    RandomSound:Play()
    wait(RandomSound.TimeLength)
end

something like this

[fervent dove]

yh

[sand topaz]

but how do i make it play with the part

[sand topaz]

example

of what i mean

but when the song ends, it automactically plays a random song from the model

[rugged locust]

yes

[fervent dove]

are u wanting it to loop just the same song?

[sand topaz]

no

I plan to have multiple songs inside the boombox

so the script chooses a random song from the selection

and play it next

[bright nest]

I think this should work just fine, you just need the audio object to be inside the part.

[fervent dove]

so what is happening right now is it that when the song ends it just stops playing i dont understand what the issue is

[sand topaz]

the thing is

it doesnt do the thing where you get closer, the music gets louder

let me try it again

[bright nest]

Is the sound's parent the part?

[sand topaz]

the audio has to be inside the script

thats why the "getchildren" part

or is there a way to make it find the children from the part

?

[bright nest]

script.parent:GetChildren()

[dusty drift]

** You are now Level 1! **

[sand topaz]

huh

never actually thought of that

[sand topaz]

yea seems to work, just one more question. Should i keep the audios looped in properties?

it does randomly choose one now

but stops playing any more when the first song is over

[bright nest]

Any errors?

Also the script is also a child of the part so that will cause problems

[sand topaz]

no problems

it always play a randomly picked song from the part

but doesnt really play anything after it ends

[bright nest]

Perhaps the wait() is just weird, this is just a guess but try using task.wait(RandomSound.TimeLength)

I've personally had problems with wait() behaving in strange ways

[bright nest]

Yeah, that's what I meant with the script getting caught up in the sounds array

[sand topaz]

so what should i do>

[bright nest]

Keep ```lua

RandomSound:Play()```

I haven't tried it but try this

local Sounds = {}

for i, child in ipairs(script.Parent:GetChildren())  do
    if child:IsA("Sound") then
        Sounds[i] = child
    end
end

while true do
    
    local RandomIndex = math.random(1,#Sounds)
    local RandomSound = Sounds[RandomIndex]
    RandomSound:Play()
    task.wait(RandomSound.TimeLength)
end

It should get all the children of the parent and only put the sounds in Sounds

[fervent dove]

could change TimeLength to Duration

[sand topaz]

had to use 1 second audios to test

glad it works

[bright nest]

yippee

[sand topaz]

but its alright

[sand topaz]

nah dont work

thanks for cooperating gentlemen

[sand topaz]

also wait whats the local Sounds = {}

supposed to do

do I put in names

[bright nest]

It creates an array where we append to in the for loop

Atleast that's what it is supposed to do

Idk if it works tbh

[dusty drift]

** You are now Level 2! **

[sand topaz]

I added a wait(0) so it doesnt do that weird pause

[bright nest]

Does that work?

[sand topaz]

yes

[bright nest]

???

I swear, wait() is the most cursed thing of all

[sand topaz]

if it works it works

I dont make the rules

[bright nest]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sand topaz]

the coding lords do

If you’re still have problems it could because of the random index value for each instead set +1 index after each song goes then have it play the song at that index so it goes in order and when it goes to the largest index (last song) set index to zero or whatever first index is in lua
