Before we start, this can be quite tricky! I have created a open-source game so you can take this system without having to script it yourself. This is not advised, as this will also teach you on how to use this system and edit it to your liking.
Now lets gets scripting!
Step 1 - Scripting Music
The biggest part is actually making the song play!
Do not name the script Music! It can get confused with the actual music object and the script, resulting in errors.
Firstly, create a script inside of the workspace. Name it MusicScript.
Then, go into the script editor. We will have to write some code for it to work!
The code below is responsible for creating the music object. This is one of the most mandatory parts of the script!
local sound = Instance.new("Sound", workspace)
sound.Name = "Music"
sound.Playing = true
sound.Volume = 1
Now, we’ll script the event. This will trigger every time a song plays!
local musicEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game.ReplicatedStorage)
musicEvent.Name = "MusicEvent1"
local mp = game:GetService('MarketplaceService')
local music = {}
local requests = {}
function PositiveIntegerMask(String)
return String:gsub("%D+", "")
end
for i,v in pairs(script.Sound:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(music, v.SoundId)
end
local function IsSound(id)
local success, value = pcall(function()
return mp:GetProductInfo(id).AssetTypeId
end)
if success then
if mp:GetProductInfo(id).AssetTypeId == 3 then
return true
else
return false
end
else
return false
end
end
Now we’ll be scripting what happens when the event occurs.
wait(.5)
function playMusica(SoundId)
if #requests > 0 then
local oldSong = sound.SoundId
sound.SoundId = requests[1]
sound.Playing = true
local ID = PositiveIntegerMask(requests[1])
local Asset = mp:GetProductInfo(ID)
local Publisher = Asset.Creator.Name
local AudioName = Asset.Name
wait()
requests['rbxassetid://'..ID] = nil
table.remove(requests, 1)
musicEvent:FireAllClients(Publisher, AudioName)
sound:Play()
return
end
local oldSong = sound.SoundId
sound.SoundId = SoundId
local ID = PositiveIntegerMask(SoundId)
local Asset = mp:GetProductInfo(ID)
local Publisher = Asset.Creator.Name
local AudioName = Asset.Name
wait(1)
musicEvent:FireAllClients(Publisher, AudioName)
sound:Play()
sound.Playing = true
end
Now that the event scripting is done, we can move on to when a song changes. use the following code. (The print line of code is optional, mainly used for debugging)
wait(3)
print(#music)
playMusica(music[math.random(1, #music)])
sound.Ended:Connect(function()
wait(0.5)
local old = sound.SoundId
local newSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
while(old == newSong) do
newSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
end
playMusica(newSong)
end)
Now, let’s script the final part of the music script - the skipping system. yes - this system comes with a skip option!
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
p.Chatted:Connect(function(m)
if(m:lower() == "!skip" or m:lower() == "/e !skip") then
if p:GetRankInGroup(GROUPID) >= 10 then
wait(0.1)
local old = sound.SoundId
local newSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
while(old == newSong) do
newSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
end
playMusica(newSong)
end
end
end)
end)
Replace GROUPID with the ID of your group, and replace 10 with the minimum role ID needed to perform the skip.
You can also replace the command needed to skip. E.g., replace "!skip" with ":skipsong".
After that, you’ve finished the script. But you need some more things to make it work!
You’ll need to create a StringValue object named NowPlaying so it can get the name of the song. Keep it in workspace, it does not need to go inside of any scripts.
Now, make a folder inside of the MusicScript named Sound. In there, you can add as many sound objects as you like. The system will randomly pick one to play!
Feel free to change the name value of the song in properties, it won’t break the script.
Finally, just incase, I’ve attached below the full script what you should have written. Feel free to copy and paste.
Once you have made all the objects and put them in the right place, the workspace should look something like this:
Finished Script
local sound = Instance.new("Sound", workspace)
sound.Name = "Music"
sound.Playing = true
sound.Volume = 1
local musicEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game.ReplicatedStorage)
musicEvent.Name = "MusicEvent1"
local mp = game:GetService('MarketplaceService')
local music = {}
local requests = {}
function PositiveIntegerMask(String)
return String:gsub("%D+", "")
end
for i,v in pairs(script.Sound:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(music, v.SoundId)
end
local function IsSound(id)
local success, value = pcall(function()
return mp:GetProductInfo(id).AssetTypeId
end)
if success then
if mp:GetProductInfo(id).AssetTypeId == 3 then
return true
else
return false
end
else
return false
end
end
wait(.5)
function playMusica(SoundId)
if #requests > 0 then
local oldSong = sound.SoundId
sound.SoundId = requests[1]
sound.Playing = true
local ID = PositiveIntegerMask(requests[1])
local Asset = mp:GetProductInfo(ID)
local Publisher = Asset.Creator.Name
local AudioName = Asset.Name
wait()
requests['rbxassetid://'..ID] = nil
table.remove(requests, 1)
musicEvent:FireAllClients(Publisher, AudioName)
sound:Play()
return
end
local oldSong = sound.SoundId
sound.SoundId = SoundId
local ID = PositiveIntegerMask(SoundId)
local Asset = mp:GetProductInfo(ID)
local Publisher = Asset.Creator.Name
local AudioName = Asset.Name
wait(1)
musicEvent:FireAllClients(Publisher, AudioName)
sound:Play()
sound.Playing = true
end
wait(3)
print(#music)
playMusica(music[math.random(1, #music)])
sound.Ended:Connect(function()
wait(0.5)
local old = sound.SoundId
local newSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
while(old == newSong) do
newSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
end
playMusica(newSong)
end)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
p.Chatted:Connect(function(m)
if(m:lower() == "!skip" or m:lower() == "/e !skip") then
if p:GetRankInGroup(4132824) >= 12 then
wait(0.1)
local old = sound.SoundId
local newSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
while(old == newSong) do
newSong = music[math.random(1, #music)]
end
playMusica(newSong)
end
end
end)
end)```
Step 2 - Scripting Muting
Now we will move on to Step 2 - Notifications.
This is a big part of the project, as well! It lets you mute music. If you decide not to include this, your music will still play but you can not mute at all - players some times like to mute music.
Let’s start with creating a ScreenGui, named Mute. Place it in StarterGui.
Now create a TextButton! You can customize this however you like. This will be our mute button.
TIP: I recommend using Roblox’s new UICorners! They’re easy to use, and can roundify your UIs resulting in a more appealing look. This is what my Mute button looks like:
Now, we’ll script the muting. Add a Script inside of the TextButton.
local muted = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if muted == false then
muted = true
script.Parent.Text = "Unmute Music"
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.4
wait(0.1)
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.3
wait(0.1)
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.2
wait(0.1)
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.1
wait(0.1)
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0
else
muted = false
script.Parent.Text = "Mute Music"
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.1
wait(0.1)
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.2
wait(0.1)
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.3
wait(0.1)
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.4
wait(0.1)
game.Workspace.Music.Volume = 0.5
end
end)
This script will make the song volume fade in/out when you mute or unmute, and will also change the text of it. If you change the name of the music object replace Music in all of these code lines with the name of the object. (e.g. game.Workspace.myawesomemusic.Volume = 0.2)
Now we can code the color changing when you hover over the button. This is optional, but it can really transform the look of the UI! This is made by using TweenService. Credits to @Inkthirsty for teaching me about this!
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Goal1 = {} Goal1.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(197, 124, 126)
local Goal2 = {} Goal2.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(232, 146, 147)
local Tween1 = TS:Create(script.Parent, TweenInfo.new(0.5), Goal1)
local Tween2 = TS:Create(script.Parent, TweenInfo.new(0.5), Goal2)
script.Parent.MouseEnter:Connect(function()
Tween1:Play()
end)
script.Parent.MouseLeave:Connect(function()
Tween2:Play()
end)
You can change the RGB values with anything of your liking.
Goal2 is the colour when you are not hovering, and Goal1 is the colour when you are.
That’s it for the mute button! Click play and test it out.
Step 3 - Adding Events
Adding events is probably the most easy part of the system! Head to ReplicatedStorage and make two RemoteEvents inside of there. Name one of them MusicLog and one of them addSong. Make sure they are identical to what I have just wrote, so the script works!
A finished replicated storage should look something like this:
Once you have completed all 3 steps, you are finished! Please make sure to test your game out to see if it works. Feel free to give suggestions/feedback in the comments below, and like this if you believe this has helped you!
With that being said, have a nice day. Good luck with your game(s)!
