Attempt to index boolean with 'Pause'

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

i tried to make a script where when a player press a button the sound will pause, and if the button is clicked again it will resume but i keep getting the same error message

here’s what i tried so far

local button = script.Parent
local GUI = script.Parent.Parent
local Frame = GUI.Scrolling
local lights = game.Lighting.ColorCorrection
local sound = game.Workspace:IsA("Sound")

Frame.Visible = false
local clicked = false
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if clicked == false then
		sound:Pause()
		lights.Saturation = -1
		Frame.Visible = true
		wait()
		clicked = true
	end
	button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
		if clicked == true then
			sound:Resume()
			lights.Saturation = 0
			Frame.Visible = false
			wait()
			clicked = false
		end
	end)
end)

Why are you trying to check if Workspace is a sound?

just use

game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Sound name here")

:IsA() will returns a boolean checking an object’s class (returns true if the given class matches the object’s class, return false if not)

sorry for the late response

the button is actually a settings button, so the player can change the music without me writing the name each time. is there a other/better way to do it?

First understand what you are doing here
as you are saying:
button.MouseButton1Click
you have two functions to connect the event with which is breaking the whole concept.
Instead you can try doing
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if clicked == false then
– do what you want
else
– do what you want
end
end)
Secondly as @RocketB0ii has mentioned you are trying to check if workspace is a sound?
workspace is a service and to go more over these basic in-built functions I suggest you go over the dev hub and there are alot of more sources as well.

Try:

local button = script.Parent
local GUI = script.Parent.Parent
local Frame = GUI.Scrolling
local lights = game.Lighting.ColorCorrection
local sound = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Sound name here")

Frame.Visible = false

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if sound.Playing == true then
		sound:Pause()
		lights.Saturation = -1
		Frame.Visible = true
	else
		sound:Resume()
		lights.Saturation = 0
		Frame.Visible = false
	end
end)

There is no need to change the name of the actual sound object, if a player wants to change the song all you need to do is change the SoundId property of the sound object.
