How to start Music always at TimePosition 0?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, :wave:

I want to create a script where music is played automatically and always starts at 0.
But how do you make it that the music always starts at TimePosition 0? :thinking:
I’ve tried several things but they didn’t work.

This is the script I already have

local songs = 
	{1532584532,
		836718931}

while true do
	
	local music = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentMusic
	
	local ID = songs[math.random(1,#songs)]
	music.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..ID
	music:Play()
	music.Ended:Wait()
	
	music:Destroy()
end

You’re destroying the Sound instance which could be related to your issue? Try this?

local songs = 
	{1532584532,
		836718931}

local music = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentMusic

while true do
	local ID = songs[math.random(1,#songs)]
	music.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..ID
	music.TimePosition = 0
	music:Play()
	music.Ended:Wait()
end

Is your Sound instance looped?

No, should it be looped? :expressionless:

Try this?

local songs = 
	{1532584532,
		836718931}

local music = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentMusic

while true do
	local ID = songs[math.random(1,#songs)]
	music.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..ID
	music:Play()
	music.Ended:Wait()
	music:Stop()
end

Stop() should it back to 0

#7

Now it only plays once and stops and doesn’t start at 0

#8

Odd? Could it maybe you have to clone the sound instance? Is this a local script?

#9

It’s a normal script and what do you mean with clone the sound instance? Sorry I’m just a beginner

#10

Something like this?

ocal songs = 
	{1532584532,
		836718931}

local music = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentMusic

while true do
	local clone = music:Clone()
	local ID = songs[math.random(1,#songs)]
	clone.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..ID
	clone:Play()
	clone.Ended:Wait()
	clone:Destroy()
end
#11

Nothing is played now :thinking:

#12

what if you just could make an new instance or an clone not with just id like this

local id = {1532584532,836718931}
local music = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentMusic:Clone()
while wait() do
	local main = music:Clone()
	local chosenid = id[math.random(1,#id)]
	main.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..chosenid
	main.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage
	main:Play()
	repeat wait() until main.IsPlaying == false
	main:Destroy()
end

can’t you just do this:

local songs = 
	{1532584532,
		836718931}

while true do

	local music = game.ReplicatedStorage.CurrentMusic

	local ID = songs[math.random(1,#songs)]
	music.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..ID
	music.TimePosition = 0
	music:Play()
	music.Ended:Wait()

	music:Destroy()
end

if its not cloned or an instance it will play only one song because you just destroy it after it ends

#15

yeah I know i just used OP’s original script and added one line of code.

#16

TimePosition… but arent it like already starts from start? maybe if it like set to bigger but whatever

that is what OP said.

#18

but it already starts from 0. in you’r script even without time position only if time position is not 0

#19

he didn’t meant littery TimePosition he meant from the start

#20

Well I am not sure, OP said he wanted the music to start from the beginning.
