Hello! im making a sort of audio log system like bendy and the dark revival. and i want the player to press F to skip the audio if they want to listen to it later. but i have tried alot to grab the sound from the object value. and it just keeps giving me an error. 'attempt to index nil with ‘Stop’, i have no idea what to do. pls help.
script when collecting the tape [only to explain that the object value is linked to the sound] :
script.Parent.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
local AudioLogFrame = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild(“MainGui”).Tape.AudioLog
local AudioLogAuthor = AudioLogFrame.NameBar.NameText
script that handles the skipping thing [where im having trouble] :
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Uis = game:GetService(“UserInputService”)
local TapeValue = Character:WaitForChild(“TapePlaying”) – the object value
local TapeAudio = nil
local CanSkip = Character:WaitForChild(“CanSkipTape”)
local AudioLogFrame = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild(“MainGui”).Tape.AudioLog
Uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
if CanSkip.Value == true then
TapeAudio = workspace.Sounds.Tapes:FindFirstChild(TapeValue.Value)
AudioLogFrame.Visible = false
wait(0.05)
TapeAudio:Stop()
wait(0.05)
TapeAudio.Value = nil
CanSkip.Value = false
end
end
end)
so basically you want to stop the audio from playing when a player presses F? or do you want to pause the audio whenever the player pressed F, and then when they Press F again, the music continues?
yes. there will be alot of audios. so i need to make this from an object value. unless i make like 100 values and 100 localscripts, which will not really be that nice.
no no. its like batdr. you pick up an audio log. you listen to it or you can skip it. if you skip it or wait until it ends it will appear in your pause menu. if you want to listen to it again. and then you can do that over and over for each audio log you find
Your first script may have been too fast for your other script to read if the values have changed, I suggest to add a wait time, and see if they work.
also, can I know where these 2 scripts are located in the Explorer and where are they parented?
because as your way to reference the bool values it may have been that easy to detect whether it goes true or false or it may have been unable for the 2nd script to listen to it if its too fast.
because this part is a bit strange, what are you placing inside the Value that’s probably why its not able to locate the audio.
Try this way:
plr.Character:WaitForChild(“TapePlaying”).Value = workspace.Sounds.Tapes.BlahBlah.SoundId
-- // Assuming that "TapePlaying.Value" here is a StringVal
-- // So you'd need to actually get which Value it will be by referencing ".SoundId" to the other end
One thing as well on the 2nd script, you might want to do this instead:
Uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
if CanSkip.Value == true then
TapeAudio = workspace.Sounds.Tapes:FindFirstChild(TapeValue.Value)
AudioLogFrame.Visible = false
if TapeAudio == TapeValue then -- // This will always detect TapeValue's Value
TapeAudio:Stop()
TapeAudio.Value = nil
CanSkip.Value = false
elseif TapeValue == nil then
return
end
end
end
end)
I see, so what you are trying to do with the first script is
trying to put a Value on “TapePlaying” which is assuming the Audio’s ID.
This got me thinking that your TapePlaying = StringValue, that would store the Audio’s ID in it or maybe a bool Value.
So whenever your 2nd Script listens to that, TapeValue returns as 0 or nil or the AudioID because its not the “Sound” Instance.
So whenever you try to press “F” to skip the Sound, it returns a nil because there’s no audio you are trying to Stop. But just literally nil or the TapeValue’s Value itself.
