#21

I see, is everything working though or is there another issue?

#22

not sure if I can add the sound to the parented script. If so, where can I add it?

#23

You can add the sound inside of the script and in the while look, just replace script.Parent.Sound with script.Sound

#24

that could be my issue, ill try that. Thanks for your help

here is my script now:


local MarketplaceService = game:GetService('MarketplaceService')

local GAMEPASSID = 15193367

local function AddHatToCharacter(Character)
	-- Run code to add hat.
	script:FindFirstChildOfClass('Accessory'):Clone().Parent = Character
end

MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(Player, GamePassId, Purchased)
	if Purchased then -- They actually bought it, and didn't click 'Cancel'
		if GamePassId == GAMEPASSID then -- It's the hat gamepass
			Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
				AddHatToCharacter(Character)
			end)

			if Player.Character then
				AddHatToCharacter(Player.Character)
			end
		end
	end
end)

game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(Player.UserId, GAMEPASSID) then
		Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
			AddHatToCharacter(Character)
		end)
	end
end)

while true do
	script.Sound1:Play()
	wait(200)
end

and here is my error output
12:05:11.746 Sound1 is not a valid member of Script “ServerScriptService.cmss” - Server - cmss:34

Line 34 thats its referencing is the script.Sound1:Play()

#27

Show the explorer, I think you may’ve wrote the name of the Sound incorrectly or something else

#28

I created it as Sound1 in my explorer

Did I name it properly in the script?

#30

That’s why it ain’t working, it should be workspace.Sound1, not `script.Sound11, use the latter if you decide to put the sound in the script

#31

oh…smh…let me try that then. So I should use:
game:workspace.Sound1:Play()
?

#32

trying this game me output error:

12:13:15.429 ServerScriptService.cmss:34: Expected ‘(’, ‘{’ or when parsing function call, got ‘.’ - Studio - cmss:34

#33 
while true do
	game:workspace.Sound1:Play()
	wait(200)
end
#34

You should use workspace.Sound1:Play(). Even game.Workspace.Sound1:Play() will work but the former is more recommended since it’s more of a direct call to workspace without using game, although both practically do the same thing anyways

that did the trick, thanks a ton!

So what I learned from all this is to run the while loop in the script and if the sound file is in the workplace, just eliminate the game: and use worksplace.sound:play()

thanks, I was really confused

#36

Again, both game.Workspace and workspace will work since they both call the Workspace instance anyways. while true do loops have their own use cases, make sure you think through whe nconsidering a while true do and think if it’s the best to do it. And if it is, make sure you put a wait in the loop or else it will crash the script.

last question, is this sound audible to whole server or just local player?

#38

If the sound was played in a regular script then it’s audible to the entire server, but if it was played in a local script, it will only be audible to you
