Client-side action before the player leave

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So in my game, I want a small music to be played just before the player leave and also put his client in a strange state so he can still listen to the music until he join another game, maybe with a while true.

I tried with game.ChildRemoved, game.Players.PlayerRemoving, and game.Close to know if the client is leaving, all of them are working in Studio, but not in the normal Roblox client…

-- Musique haha.
game.Close:Connect(function()
	print("Yé.")
	script.MusiqueHaha.Playing = true
	local t = tick() + script.MusiqueHaha.TimeLength
	while tick() < t do end
end)

I need to know how to correctly detect when the client is leaving, how to make the client in the strange state described above, and if this is possible…

I don’t think you’d be able to do this. Instead have you considered doing this server sided?

#3

When the game is closed, it’s closed, you can’t force a player to remain in your game if they end the task, it just doesn’t work like that. You could have them press on a fake X that does all that, but it won’t be the effect you’re looking for.

#4

If I do it server-side, the client would have enough time to disconnect from the server, and I don’t want the other players on the server to listen to it while they are in the game.

#5

You cannot use while true loops because roblox will automatically shut down the game after 30 seconds even if you use game.Close

But as a side not, do not use game.Close use game:BindToClose instead because game.Close is deprecated.

#6

You can try with some admin scripts, they have a crash command, having the ability to crash a player (making them disconnect from the server and keep a local copy of the place, with the audio in it). This is also happening when the player get kicked from the server without any error message…
Your idea of a fake leave button was looking good but the players would think it’s an in-game feature instead of a leave game button.

#7

I went looking at the documentation and BindToClose is only working server-side.

#8

So you only want the player who left to hear the sound?

#9

He wants to make a sound play after the user left. I have seen this in some horror games and it will continue to play the sound for a while after the game shutdown. Ive tried to lag myself to see if thats what it does but it only plays for a few seconds.

#10

,PlayOnRemove

#11

I already used that for all the tests and it didn’t work. Maybe the sound needs to be somewhere else ? It’s currently in the player.

#12

It needs to be in the workspace

#13

Ok, I tried, it’s still working in Studio but not in the Roblox client.

-- Musique haha.
local haha = script.MusiqueHaha
game.ChildRemoved:Connect(function()
	print("Yé.")
	haha.Playing = true
	local t = tick() + haha.TimeLength
	while tick() < t do end
end)
haha.Parent = workspace
