What do you want to achieve? I want to add gunshot SFX to my guns.
What is the issue? Everytime I fire a gun, no audio plays.
What solutions have you thought of so far? I tried to watch a YouTube video but it didn’t seem to work.
I’m a complete amateur, if possible please keep it simple.
This thread needs significantly more details, please provide them - code, errors, issues you’ve identified and so on. Additionally, please do make sure you reference the Developer Hub for articles and API so you at least have some baseline knowledge on how to perform certain actions on the platform, such as playing sounds (see: Sound).
Server script:
script.Parent.Fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mousePos)
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {player.Character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Handle.Position,(mousePos - script.Parent.Handle.Position)*300,raycastParams)
if raycastResult then
local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
local model = hitPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
if model then
if model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then
model.Humanoid.Health -=50
end
end
end
end)
Client script:
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
script.Parent.Fire:FireServer(mouse.Hit.p)
end)
Does any of that code even mention a sound? If you never call :Play() on a sound, it will never play.
Am I supposed to add that into the server script? I tried to do that but it just makes the gun stop working.
You probably have to create a Sound object inside the Tool it you want it to play properly
You can either do it on the client (LocalScript) or the server (ServerScript), it shouldn’t break the gun if you just play a simple sound?
script.Parent.Fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mousePos)
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {player.Character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Handle.Position,(mousePos - script.Parent.Handle.Position)*300,raycastParams)
if raycastResult then
local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
local model = hitPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
if model then
if model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then
model.Humanoid.Health -=20
end
end
end
end)
I want to add it to the server script, where should the line of code go?
Depends on where your Sound Object exactly is in the Tool, without it I can’t help you much apart from referencing the Character’s Model to obtain it
Is it supposed to look like this?
Place the sound in a part or an attachment. That wil give it the effect off emanating from that part.
More info you can read here Sound | Roblox Creator Documentation
Yep
So you could just simply reference the Sound as player.Character.Tool.Sound, and play it when the OnServerEvent detects the event being fired
script.Parent.Fire.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,mousePos)
player.Character.Tool.Sound:Play()
local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {player.Character}
raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(script.Parent.Handle.Position,(mousePos -
script.Parent.Handle.Position)*300,raycastParams)
if raycastResult then
local hitPart = raycastResult.Instance
local model = hitPart:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
if model then
if model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then
model.Humanoid.Health -=20
end
end
end
end)
If you wanted the play the Sound at a certain distance, you’d need to parent it inside a BasePart of some sort
If you want the gun to make a sound you first have to make a sound instance
Alright, there we go. Now it works just fine. Thanks.
