How To Use PlayLocalSound

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve looked on the creator documents: SoundService | Roblox Creator Documentation

But nothing i try seems to work.

local SoundService= game:GetService("SoundService")
SoundService:PlayLocalSound(workspace.SpawnLocation.Sound)

This is an example. Is there somethin i’m doing wrong?

To add more clarity, this isnt when the player is in the game. this is when their in studio

Try using this:

local sound = "your sound"

sound:Play()

use this script in a localscript

I dont think you can use PlayLocalSound on a LocalScript, but could be wrong.

Where did you place the localscript?

No error. I tried the command bar but that doesnt work. the localscript was in StarterGUI
