Area Music Player Script! [Open Source]

Better way of putting it, sound regions. This is pretty nice, well done.

#14

Does this support non-rectangular music areas?
Can I use Unions or spheres?

#15

Woah that death sound was super cool. How did you do that?

#16

it is from the module script that is the parent of the script that has all of the sounds and main code

You can’t require a LocalScript, only ModuleScript.

@dispeller
Nope, but you can use this:

local function IsPointInPart_Fn(Point, Part) -- Cylinder
    local relPos = Part.CFrame:PointToObjectSpace(Point)
    local distFromCenter = Vector2_New(relPos.Y, relPos.Z).Magnitude
    local radius = Part.Size.Y*.5
    return Math_Abs(relPos.X) < Part.Size.X*.5 and distFromCenter < radius
end

You could also use GetTouchingParts.

Personally, the first time I made an area music system, I used Region3.

I looped this every 5 seconds. That way, each piece of music played for at least 5 seconds. Kinda prevents breaking immersion 
function UpdateRegion()

	local inRegion = false
	
	for i,v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.BorderBlocks:GetChildren()) do
	
		local min = v.Position - (0.5 * v.Size)
		local max = v.Position + (0.5 * v.Size)
		local region = Region3.new(min, max)
		local whitelist = {Player.Character}
		local parts = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3WithWhiteList(region,
														whitelist, 100)
		--warn(#parts)
		for partIndex, part in pairs(parts) do
			--print('PART NAME!'..v.Name)
			if part.Parent == Player.Character then
				inRegion = true
				if regionCurrentlyInside ~= v.Name then
					regionCurrentlyInside = v.Name
					print'CHANGED REGION!'
				end
			end
			
		end
	
	end
	
	if not inRegion then
		if regionCurrentlyInside ~= 'Outside' then
			regionCurrentlyInside = 'Outside'
			print'went outside'
		end
	end

end

There was also this module called Zone+ that might be useful.

Lots of ways to do this.
Cool module!

I noticed that in post #6

I also mentioned that using Region3 is tedious and not Non-Programmer friendly, you can refer back to post #6 for more details.

indeed there are multiple ways of achieving the same thing~

If region 3 is “tedious”, isn’t it your job to make it easier? I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, .touched event is unreliable.

If I were you, I would use region 3 and get players to define zones using parts, then calculate region3 zone for them. Not so hard is it?

#24

Despite the comments about using region 3 and about using TouchedEvent not being reliable, I thank you for this resource that can improve my scripting abilities, continue doing what you do best :pray:.

Also is there a way to turn this into a music player where you can just insert the song id and play different types of music such as a party setting etc and how would you go about doing that?

Hey man, wonderful script. However it seems there is a problem for me while using it. Whenever a character dies, and respawns, the music stops. It used to work just fine, but after I changed the volume in the Module Script it seemed to have messed the script up? Idrk what went wrong.
Here’s the script

This did the trick for me, there’s a mistake in the module:

Replace the Character_Added function with:

local function Character_Added(Character)
	if (not cache[Character]) then
		cache[Character] = tick()
		Cha = Character; Hum = Cha:WaitForChild('Humanoid'); RootPart = Cha:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		HumDied_Connection = Hum.Died:Connect(Humanoid_Died)
	end
end

Yep, also found out it was because I altered the respawn time from 5, to 1 second. Idk, if putting this in would fix, but at least you found something wrong, and fixed it :+1:

#30

Thanks alot, I’d love to use this in my game!

#31

Keep it up! Love this resource. I’m probably gonna use it in my game.

#32

Thanks, this is very helpful! Definitely helps add some atmosphere.

#33

Could you add a few features,

  • mute button (cant hear music)
  • multiple tracks for an area, play randomly
  • Gui on the screen that says what is playing, you can put a value in the music object that has the title and artist, if nothing is there, then it doesn’t display.
#34

I managed to glitch it, if you use MoveTo() on character that is inside the zone, and the HumanoidRootPart is Anchored, the music still plays. Please fix

#35

How can I make this useable with unions? I have areas that overlap and was wondering how I can work around the music going at the same time.
