How to make the audio stop at night?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make the audio stop playing at night, everything else works but i cannot figure out what to do to make the script pause the music at night. I have tried many things and i feel its a really easy fix but it’s still not working

local currentSoundIndex = nil
local sounds = nil

local musicFolder = game.Workspace.Music

sounds = musicFolder.Sounds:GetChildren()

if #sounds == 0 then
print(“No sound files found in the folder.”)
else
while true do
if game.Lighting.ClockTime >= 6 and game.Lighting.ClockTime < 18 then
– Pause current song if there is one
if currentSoundIndex then
local sound = sounds[currentSoundIndex]
if sound and sound:IsA(“Sound”) then
sound:Pause()
end
end
local randomIndex = math.random(1, #sounds)
currentSoundIndex = randomIndex
local sound = sounds[currentSoundIndex]
if sound and sound:IsA(“Sound”) then
sound.Volume = 0
sound:Play()
game:GetService(“TweenService”):Create(sound, TweenInfo.new(2), {Volume = 1}):Play()

			sound.Ended:Wait()
			game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(sound, TweenInfo.new(2), {Volume = 0}):Play()
			local waitTime = math.random(10, 60)
			wait(waitTime)
		end
	else
		-- Handle night time behavior here
		for _, sound in ipairs(sounds) do
			if sound and sound:IsA("Sound") then
				sound:Stop()
			end
		end
	end 
	wait(1) 
end

end

Where’s the sound that’s playing located?

It is under a folder in workspace, it plays the audio it just will not pause it.

idk if this is correct but is there an else to split the day and night functions (format of the code is a little weird in the original post)

if (#sounds == 0) then
	warn("No sound files found in the folder.");
else
	task.spawn(function() -- new thread so it doesnt inf yield if you have stuff after this one thingy
		local t:number
		while true do
			t = game:GetService("Lighting").ClockTime;
			if (t >= 6 and t < 18) then
				-- Day Time Stuff
			else
				-- Night Time
			end
			task.wait(); -- buffer so you dont crash lol
		end
	end)
end

nvm thank you for your help, but I figured it out! I put the part that pauses the audio in a separate script and it worked! :slight_smile:

Hmm, tried to follow what you had. But there was a few things about it I wasn’t sure of. Like that break and how it’s getting a reference on the sounds. Glad you figured it out. I didn’t test this one.
