Hello! I’m still new at scripting so i barely know how to code, Anyway i’m trying to make a piano where it plays the notes when u walk on that note! my goal is when i touch a part, an audio plays and when it finish playing, it won’t play again unless you stop touching the part and touch it again
The issue is that when i touch a part and stay on it the audio keeps looping after finishing even with the option (Loop OFF) and i need help of how can i make an audio plays once every touch
I tried a script i found in the tool box and here is it:
-- declarations
local head = script.Parent
local sound = head:findFirstChild("Victory")
function onTouched(part)
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h~=nil then
sound:play()
if part.Parent:findFirstChild("Torso"):findFirstChild("roblox").Texture == nil then return end
part.Parent:findFirstChild("Torso"):findFirstChild("roblox").Texture=""
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
I really appreciate any help to solve this problem!
The reason why it is looping is because there is no debounce (aka cooldown). When there is no debounce it means that the Touched event will register many amount of times and that will get the sound to continue playing until the humanoid stops touching the part.
local head = script.Parent
local sound = head:findFirstChild("Victory")
debounce = 0 -- Needs to be global
function onTouched(part)
local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h~=nil then
if debounce == 0 then
debounce = 1
sound:play()
if part.Parent:findFirstChild("Torso"):findFirstChild("roblox").Texture == nil then
return
end
part.Parent:findFirstChild("Torso"):findFirstChild("roblox").Texture=""
wait() --Set the cooldown to however much time you want
debounce = 0
end
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
This should stop the music playing many amount of times.
This script looks about a decade old (full of deprecated methods/bad code habits), here’s a revamped up to date version which I recommend you use instead.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local part = script.Parent
local sound = part:WaitForChild("Victory")
local debounce = false
local function onTouched(hit)
if debounce then
return
end
local hitModel = hit:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
if hitModel then
local hitPlayer = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hitModel)
if hitPlayer then
debounce = true
sound:Play()
sound.Ended:Wait()
debounce = false
end
end
end
part.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
Note we don’t need to call “wait()” to delay for an arbitrary length of time, we simply wait for the “Ended” event to fire on the “Sound” instance, this event fires whenever a full play-through of the audio track occurs.
