I’m back on here again in hopes of getting a solution to the problem I have. Currently I have my Checkpoints scripted out with an effect added onto it but still am unsure how to add sound to the checkpoints. My last posts, there were people suggesting that I use remote events but I am still relatively new to scripting so I did a lot of research on the dev forum and roblox resources. I am aware that the devforum has multiple posts that are similar to mine but all of them don’t have solutions and seem to leave me even more confused that I started out with. Here is my Checkpoint Script that I have in ServerScriptService:
local Players = game:GetService("Players");
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService");
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService");
local TweenTime = TweenInfo.new(1);
local Checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("Checkpoints"):GetChildren();
local sound = game.Workspace.CheckpointNoise
local function FindCheckpoint(character, stage)
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
local checkpoint_number = tonumber(checkpoint.Name);
if stage.value == checkpoint_number then
return checkpoint;
end
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats";
leaderstats.Parent = player;
local stage = Instance.new("IntValue");
stage.Name = "Stage";
stage.Value = 0;
stage.Parent = leaderstats;
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local root_part = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart");
local checkpoint = FindCheckpoint(character, stage);
RunService.Heartbeat:Wait();
root_part.CFrame = checkpoint.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1,0);
end)
end)
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
local humanoid = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid");
if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touch.Parent);
if player then
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stage = leaderstats.Stage;
local checkpoint_number = tonumber(checkpoint.Name);
if checkpoint_number - stage.Value == 1 then
stage.Value = checkpoint_number;
local goal = {
Size = checkpoint.Size + Vector3.new(2, 0.5, 2);
Transparency = 1;
};
local checkpoint = checkpoint:Clone()
checkpoint.Parent = workspace
local tween = TweenService:Create(checkpoint, TweenTime, goal);
tween:Play();
tween.Completed:Connect(function()
checkpoint:Destroy();
end)
end
end
end
end)
end
I have my checkpoints in a folder called Checkpoints seen here:
I created a remote event here:
And I have a Checkpoint sound that is called CheckpointNoise. From my knowledge that I have learned, I know you’re supposed to create a local script in StarterPlayerScripts that calls to the event. And to make another script that I assume I put in each checkpoint part? The only thing I am unsure of is how to set everything up with the sound besides the:
To add sound to the checkpoints, you can use the Sound object in Roblox. You can start by creating a Sound object in the workspace or any other parent object, and then setting its SoundId property to the audio file that you want to play when a player touches a checkpoint.
Here’s an updated version of your script that adds a sound effect to each checkpoint:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local TweenTime = TweenInfo.new(1)
local Checkpoints = workspace:WaitForChild("Checkpoints"):GetChildren()
-- Create a sound object for the checkpoint sound effect
local SoundTemplate = Instance.new("Sound")
SoundTemplate.SoundId = "rbxassetid://sound_id_here"
SoundTemplate.Volume = 1
SoundTemplate.Pitch = 1
local function FindCheckpoint(character, stage)
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
local checkpoint_number = tonumber(checkpoint.Name)
if stage.value == checkpoint_number then
return checkpoint
end
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player
local stage = Instance.new("IntValue")
stage.Name = "Stage"
stage.Value = 0
stage.Parent = leaderstats
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local root_part = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local checkpoint = FindCheckpoint(character, stage)
RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
root_part.CFrame = checkpoint.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,1,0)
end)
end)
for i, checkpoint in pairs(Checkpoints) do
local sound = SoundTemplate:Clone() -- Clone a sound object for each checkpoint
sound.Parent = checkpoint -- Attach the sound to the checkpoint
checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
local humanoid = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touch.Parent)
if player then
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stage = leaderstats.Stage
local checkpoint_number = tonumber(checkpoint.Name)
if checkpoint_number - stage.Value == 1 then
stage.Value = checkpoint_number
-- Play the sound effect when the checkpoint is touched
sound:Play()
local goal = {
Size = checkpoint.Size + Vector3.new(2, 0.5, 2),
Transparency = 1
}
local checkpoint_clone = checkpoint:Clone()
checkpoint_clone.Parent = workspace
local tween = TweenService:Create(checkpoint_clone, TweenTime, goal)
tween:Play()
tween.Completed:Connect(function()
checkpoint_clone:Destroy()
end)
end
end
end
end)
end
In this updated script, a Sound object is cloned for each checkpoint, and attached to the checkpoint using sound.Parent = checkpoint . When a player touches a checkpoint, the sound effect is played using sound:Play() . You can replace the sound_id_here placeholder in the script with the ID of the audio file that you want to use.
Well if you’re trying to play a sound, I would recommend using SoundService.
It runs based on a local script, so do some research in to SoundService and if you get stuck then just ask.
Thank you so much! I had no idea you could do that without remote events Is there a way to edit the script so that the sound will only play for the person going over the checkpoint and not for the entire server? Or is that something that only remote events can accomplish?
Touching a part to stop all other sounds in a sound group then playing a sound that you’re wanting to play…
Code:
-- services
local soundService = game:GetService("SoundService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
-- variables
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
game.Workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(other)
if player and character == other.Parent then
for _, sound in pairs(soundService.SoundGroup:GetChildren()) do
sound:Stop()
end
soundService.SoundGroup.Sound:Play()
end
end)
To make the sound play only for the person going over the checkpoint, you can modify the Touched event of the checkpoint. Here’s an updated version of the Touched event code:
checkpoint.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
local humanoid = touch.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then
local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(touch.Parent)
if player then
local leaderstats = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats")
local stage = leaderstats.Stage
local checkpoint_number = tonumber(checkpoint.Name)
if checkpoint_number - stage.Value == 1 then
stage.Value = checkpoint_number
local goal = {
Size = checkpoint.Size + Vector3.new(2, 0.5, 2),
Transparency = 1,
}
local checkpointClone = checkpoint:Clone()
checkpointClone.Parent = workspace
local tween = TweenService:Create(checkpointClone, TweenTime, goal)
tween:Play()
tween.Completed:Connect(function()
checkpointClone:Destroy()
end)
local soundClone = sound:Clone()
soundClone.Parent = checkpointClone
local soundConnection = soundClone.Playing:Connect(function()
if soundClone.Playing then
soundClone:Stop()
soundConnection:Disconnect()
end
end)
soundClone:Play()
end
end
end
end)
In this updated code, a new soundClone instance is created and parented to the checkpointClone instance that was created earlier. A connection to the Playing event of soundClone is also established, which checks if the sound is still playing and disconnects the connection if it is.
This ensures that the sound only plays for the player who triggers the checkpoint, and not for the entire server.
Is there a way to edit the script so that the sound will only play for the person going over the checkpoint and not for the entire server? Or is that something that only remote events can accomplish?
