#

it plays globally i do not want it to play globally....

supple breach Jan 1, 2025, 11:32 PM

#

if you're playing it from a script it's going to play globally

#

you need to use a local script

#

or maybe fire a remote event to a client

cinder geode Jan 1, 2025, 11:41 PM

#

oh

#

i feel foolish now

#

it still plays globally

#

globally like across the map i meant

#

maybe bad phrasing

next fern Jan 1, 2025, 11:45 PM

#

if you place the sound in an object you can set the distance it plays

emmm

#

its in a folder

#

do i gotta take it out of the folder

#

it is now in the workspace and not in the folder

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:01 AM

#

the part can be in a folder just make sure ur playing the audio that's a child of the part and not the ones that are a child of the script

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:01 AM

#

ok

#

the ones in the script are not playing and the ones out of the script are playing

#

it is just playing every song at once am i foolish

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:03 AM

did you set the sounds themselves to looped by chance

#

or isplaying

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:04 AM

they are on isplaying and not on looped

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:04 AM

do something like

for i, v in pairs(audioFolder:GetChildren()
if i == randomNumber then

   local clonedAudio = audio:Clone()

    clonedAudio:Play()
    clonedAudio.Ended:Wait()

the code is trhe same but its in a localscript now

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:07 AM

oh yeah and locks scripts won't work i. the workspace

would it not be random for everyone if it was a local script

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:11 AM

i thought you said you didn't want everyone hearing it

#

yeah make it a script the

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:12 AM

i didnt want it to be played across the entire map that is the issue i have been having

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:12 AM

cinder geode it still plays globally

i got confused about this

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:12 AM

you can delete all the sounds from beneath the script

it does not work there is still no audio

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:22 AM

radio is not a valid member of workspace

maybe i dont get it now

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:22 AM

is radio a child of workspace or a folder or something

studio ** You are now Level 10! ** studio

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:22 AM

child of workspace

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:22 AM

#

we need to properly reference the radio part

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:23 AM

#

ok

#

nvm i was being silly with the code

#

it was not radio issue

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:23 AM

#

ok cool

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:23 AM

this is what i put is this right

Tenor

#

what did i do

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:24 AM

#

with the workspace.radio:getchildren()

#

you know what a variable is right

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

tell me so i dont look foolish later

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

like it's just a way to use shorthand so we don't need to type a lot of stuff

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

ok ok

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

so instead of typing radio:getchildren() every time we can just type Sounds

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

cinder geode wait(1) while true do workspace.radio.GetChildren() = script:GetChildren() ...

you used to define the Sounds variable here

#

but instead for some reason you're trying to declare that radio:getchildren() should equal script:getchildren()

#

which is nonsensical

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:26 AM

#

uh huh uh huh

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

the fog part thing is from a different script entirely

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

yeah

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

anyways

#

did you fix defining your variable

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

how do i do that...

supple breach Jan 2, 2025, 12:28 AM

#

so i. the original code you had you were defining the Sounds variable as script:getchildren() because all the sounds were children of the script right

#

but we've changed that now so that the sounds are children of the workspace part

#

so instead we need to define Sounds as the children of the radio part

#

you see what i'm saying

cinder geode Jan 2, 2025, 12:29 AM

#

i thnik so

#

let me try

#

I DID IT
