How can I make music play for my main menu gui?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

This is the current gui script to just press the play button, pretty simple, however I don’t know how to add a music ID to it. How would I do that?

Just

  • Insert a Sound in your Explorer

  • Set the SoundID property to the ID of the sound (Located on the browser link/looking up Audios in your toolbox by right clicking & copying the ID)

  • Locate where you inserted the Sound, then Play/Pause it upon activation with your MouseButton1Click Event

#3

Right I’ve done step 1 & 2 except I don’t know what I need to write in the script I don’t know how to do step 3.

#4

Depending on where you put the Sound:

local Sound = script.Parent.SoundLocation

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if script.Parent.Parent.Visible = true then
        script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
        Sound:Resume()
    else
        script.Parent.Parent.Visible = true
        Sound:Pause()
    end
end)
#5

Where would I put that in this script and where do I put the ID of the music?

Just replace that script with the one I sent earlier, should still be the same thing hopefully (Set the ID in the Explorer’s Properties)

#7

Ok, I just tried that and it broke my place button and the music didn’t play.

#8

Really? Can you add print() statements to detect where it stopped playing/working?

#9

Well I think deleting the script as you said just removed the remove menu part of the script but the music just didn’t play.

#10 
--// Variables //--
local Sound = --// Location
local Button = script.Parent

--// Functions //--
Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	Sound:Play()
end)

This script is so that when you click the button, the sound starts playing.

#11

Also, here’s a bit of help.

#12

I put the sound id after sound, what else do I need to fill in? (I’m a bit new to scripting)

#14

No, just add a Sound Object, and check the properties. The sound object has different properties to set-up. I will give you a picture, the red mark is where you must insert the sound ID.

But, anyway, explain what you are trying to do and the structure of your objects.

#16

I know the sound ID and thats what I put after "local sound = "

#17

I’m trying to add music to my main menu and make the music stop after pressing “Play”

#18

Try this:

local Sound = Instance.new("Sound",script)
Sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://" .. 0
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
    Sound:Play()
end)

Replace 0 with the sound id.

Well, that played the sound after I click play, I’m trying to make the sound play until you get off the menu.

#20 
local Sound = Instance.new("Sound",script)
Sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://" .. 0

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
    Sound:Play()
end)

local ExitButtom = script.Parent.ExitButtom
ExitButtom.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    Sound:Stop()
end)

Replace this part with the exit button location:

script.Parent.ExitButtom

#21

Alright! I just made this, I tested and worked. I will show you my objects structure.

--// Variables //--
local Button = script.Parent
local Sound = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Sound")
local inProgress = false
local isPaused = false
Sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://" .. 1376107746

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if inProgress == false and isPaused == false then
		local Success, Error = pcall(function()
			Sound:Play()
		end)
		
		if not Error then
			print("Success.")
			inProgress = true
		else
			if Error then
				print("Sound Error: ", Error)
				inProgress = false
			end
		end
		
	elseif inProgress == true then
		Sound:Pause()
		isPaused = true
		inProgress = false
		
	elseif inProgress == false and isPaused == true then
		Sound:Resume()
		inProgress = true
		isPaused = false
	end	
end)
