How would I make a script that makes like a music script? Ie: I have a folder in ReplicatedStorage and I have about 5 sounds which play songs. So how would I make a script where it would begin the first song and when that song ended it would start the next song?

Loop through a table. Example:

local sounds = path.to.folder:GetChildren()
while true do

for _,sound in pairs(sounds) do
      sound:Play()
      sound.Ended:Wait()
end
wait(1)
end

Use .Ended to detect sound ending. an example:

Sound5.Ended:Connect(function()
--do something like play another song
end)

Not a huge deal, but you can actually use wait() as the condition in a while loop like this:

while(wait(x)) do
    print("Hello");

end

or, if you want to do something once before the condition is checked

repeat
    print("World!");

until(not wait(x))

Pretty sure my method might be more efficient. It was just an example, they can obviously change it.

Adding on top TheWorstOne’s response, using wait(x) in code like that is bad practice when a solution that uses :Wait() exist.

Yes I know. In the original example, they have another wait statement at the end of the script, which is redundant when you can place it as the condition.

I think the easiest one would be @Andr_yy’s idea. Will that work finely?

Yes, it should. I tested it and it worked fine :+1:
