Audio is not playing via script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a ctf game and I want there to be a sound in the intermission. It works when you join in a new server, but not after. The actual game audio randomizer doesn’t work either, and it isnt showing any errors so i got no idea why it is happening.
Here is the code:

local GameManager = {}
local randChoice = math.random(0,5)

-- ROBLOX services
local Players = game.Players

-- Game services
local Configurations = require(game.ServerStorage.Configurations)
local TeamManager = require(script.TeamManager)
local PlayerManager = require(script.PlayerManager)
local MapManager = require(script.MapManager)
local TimeManager = require(script.TimeManager)
local DisplayManager = require(script.DisplayManager)

-- Local Variables
local IntermissionRunning = false
local EnoughPlayers = false
local GameRunning = false
local Events = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events
local CaptureFlag = Events.CaptureFlag
local ReturnFlag = Events.ReturnFlag

-- Local Functions
function OnCaptureFlag(player)
	PlayerManager:AddPlayerScore(player, 1)
	TeamManager:AddTeamScore(player.TeamColor, 1)
	DisplayManager:DisplayNotification(player.TeamColor, 'Captured Flag!')
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.FlagCaptureChat:FireAllClients(player)
end

local function OnReturnFlag(flagColor)
	DisplayManager:DisplayNotification(flagColor, 'Flag Returned!')
end

-- Public Functions
function GameManager:Initialize()
	MapManager:SaveMap()
end

function GameManager:RunIntermission()

	EnoughPlayers = Players.NumPlayers >= Configurations.MIN_PLAYERS	
	DisplayManager:UpdateTimerInfo(true, not EnoughPlayers)
	spawn(function()
		repeat
			if EnoughPlayers and Players.NumPlayers < Configurations.MIN_PLAYERS then
				EnoughPlayers = false
			elseif not EnoughPlayers and Players.NumPlayers >= Configurations.MIN_PLAYERS then
				EnoughPlayers = true

Elseif chains should always be avoided, try doing this instead:

game.SoundService[“GameAudio”..randChoice]:Play()

When I need to play sounds, I do it in the workspace, or if it is only to specific players, in the PlayerGui. Try to create a copy of the sound you want to play and you can destroy it after with the Debris Service

#3

as in using the Debris service or sound_here:Destroy()?

#4

I added this code to make the sound but it is not cloning it or anything.

local randChoice = math.random(0,5)
local sound = game.SoundService["GameAudio"..randChoice]:Clone()
sound.Parent = workspace

and this code to delete it.

for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("Sound") then
		v:Destroy()
	end
end

Just so you know, the script in the original post is a ModuleScript (if you didn’t already know) and should I put the audios in ServerStorage?

#5

Yeah I would destroy it after the intermission is over by doing

Debris:AddItem(Sound, INTERMISSION_LENGTH)
#6

The audios can go anywhere, as long as they can be accessed

Does that function even run? Test it using print statements.

#7

The print statements go through, but it does not clone the thing for some reason. I also check in the workspace for the sound but it aint there so ive got no idea what is happening. No errors are showing up either.
