Physical music toggle model

[nimble wasp]

Hi, I'm currently trying to set up a physical radio model in my social hangout game which users can walk up to and mute the music on their game with, but the way I have it currently configured, it mutes the music for every person in the game and if one person mutes it then nobody can hear it. How can I fix it so when someone interacts with the radio model, it only mutes their music?

Also, I would like to add that the audio is coming from the part itself, and i have very little experience scripting. Thank you to anyone who can help.

no hate to you at all, you're still figuring things out. the fix is very simple

studio allows you to create 2 different types of script: a local script and a server script (commonly referred to as a regular script or just a script)

server scripts work by replicating any of its actions to all clients (players), while a local script works by only affecting the player

basically you just need to use a local script rather than a server script

i would highly recommend you look into filtering enabled

it really helps you to understand the functionality and reasons for server-client relations

i tried switching the script to a local script but it doesnt work

do i have to change the actual script inside of it?

[nimble wasp]

also thanks for being polite

i just changed the script to a local script

and used the same script

and it didnt work

[limpid sparrow]

could i see the script?

use that format to send it

[limpid sparrow]

yes ofc

[nimble wasp]

heres the script

it works when it was a regular script

[limpid sparrow]

so the script wont work at all when its a a local script?

[nimble wasp]

yes

the proximity prompt just does nothing

[limpid sparrow]

thats what you do want happening

local scripts (with a few exceptions) wont work in the workspace

i believe if you put the radio in replicatedFirst your local script should work

[nimble wasp]

ok lets see

then the radio goes away

[limpid sparrow]

wait lemme see something

ok you'll have to use remote events

do you know how to use those?

[nimble wasp]

no

** You are now Level 5! **

[limpid sparrow]

they're very simple

it basically can send information from a local script to a server script and vice versa

[nimble wasp]

oh wait

is it so i can have a local script in replicatedfirst thats actually connected to the model

without the model being its parent?

[limpid sparrow]

not quite

you can have a server script in the radio model and a local script in a client service

you can run the remote event on the server script and make the local script disable the radio for only the player

you should probably look into remote events

just lmk once you've done that and ill help you set a remote event up

[nimble wasp]

ok

so i set up the radio model back to how it was before i created this help thread

then i put the same script in a local script in replicatedfirst

[limpid sparrow]

not quite

put the local script in starter player scripts

the remote event will go in replicated storage

[nimble wasp]

ok

replicated storage or replicated first

[limpid sparrow]

storage

[nimble wasp]

ok

there

[limpid sparrow]

yea that'll work

so whenever a player disables it

in ther server script, do this code

[nimble wasp]

what do i do now to make it work

[limpid sparrow]

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local radioEvent = RS:FindFirstChild("radio")

local playing = true

script.Parent.ProzimityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
  radioEvent:FireClient(player, (not playing))
end)

then in your local script

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local radioEvent = RS:FindFirstChild("radio")

radioEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playing)
  if playing then
    workspace["Radio model"].Sound.Volume = 0
    return
  end

  workspace["Radio model"].Sound.Volume = 1
end)

that should work

[nimble wasp]

ok one sec let me try to figure this out

[limpid sparrow]

ok

[nimble wasp]

is this right?

its not working

is it easier if i stream this to u

@limpid sparrow

[limpid sparrow]

oh so sorry

i went downstairs for a bit

[nimble wasp]

all good

[limpid sparrow]

is nothing happening?

[nimble wasp]

yeah

i can stream it

if u want

[limpid sparrow]

thats okay

i have a good visual for whats happening

[nimble wasp]

i renamed all the scripts involved radio and the remote event radio so its easier for me

here let me show u everything

[limpid sparrow]

whats that script?

[limpid sparrow]

is this the local or server script?

[nimble wasp]

look at the top

[limpid sparrow]

oh okay

[nimble wasp]

thats everything

[limpid sparrow]

can you go to the view tab at the top of studio for me?

[nimble wasp]

yeah

[limpid sparrow]

i figured as much

so thats called the output

its your best friend when debugging (fixing) a program

right now theres an error with the code

i misspelled Proximity

[nimble wasp]

💀

oh

thats hella funny

[limpid sparrow]

here ill send the server script again but fixed

i forgot to add a line anyway

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local radioEvent = RS:FindFirstChild("radio")

local playing = true

script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
  radioEvent:FireClient(player, (not playing))
  playing = not playing
end)

there

that'll work for you

[nimble wasp]

thats for the serverscript then?

[limpid sparrow]

yes

[nimble wasp]

ok i think its working

let me test

[limpid sparrow]

yippee!

[nimble wasp]

um

[limpid sparrow]

uh oh

what happened

[nimble wasp]

can you join my game real quick
