I use lighting as storage for things not currently in use to save clutter in the workspace, but sounds in the models play as if they were in the workspace, I want this to not happen but yet have to worry about changing the sounds every time I pull them out of lighting
I’ve tried lowering rolloffmaxdistance but that only makes the sounds play in a smaller area rather than stopping them completely
any help?
This is a really random and dumb thing… but why don’t you just store everything in server storage instead of lighting?
lighting is located almost right under the workspace, meaning it’s pretty nice to move things between, also it’s become habit at this point
if I could re-arrange the explorer to move server storage up then I’d probably use that

Parent them to your serverstorage, or, just place them very far away ? Lighting co-exists with workspace in a sense so anything that exists in it (atleast thats how I make sense of it, but regardless it will still “render”.
Have you checked of IsPlayng Is set to false?
And yea acrually its pretty weird storing things in lighting, on my opinioni, you should try server storage
Yep you’re definitely italian

I think it’s ReplicatedStorage that is the best place to save those sounds.
And…
What do you mean? Do you move it with your hands??
- That’s not its purpose.
- Everything under Lighting is replicated to all the clients. If you’re putting useless things in there, you’re just wasting bandwidth and increasing loading times.
For both of the above reasons, use ServerStorage.
I’m not sure if you can do that but you can hide services that you don’t use.
Storing things in Lighting… brings me right back to 2009
Anyway, set IsPlaying to false on the sounds when they’re put in Lighting.

anyways, I already found my own solution
y’all said to just turn playing off, can’t do that because then I’d have to sort through the many sounds and manually change them which is awful
instead of just that, I also put a script that makes the sounds play then deletes itself so when they are in lighting the scripts don’t run but if they’re put in workspace, they run.
yes, I do move it with my hands
what else am I supposed to do? use my nose to click and drag???
I use the other services too, just not as regularly as lighting. Again, it’s directly under workspace so it’s convenient
if Roblox added the ability to change the positions of the services in the tree then I’d use server storage, but as of now it’s mostly used to store anim saves because Roblox decided to make it super annoying.
It’s really not that annoying, you literally just drag 20 pixels down
that part was referring to the fact roblox changed how anims were saved-
