I want to have music that stops playing once you touch a part, and after a few seconds, it plays again

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do I want to achieve? Music that stops playing once you touch a part, and plays after a few seconds.

  2. What is the issue? I have checked if anyone else had the same question, but i haven’t found exactly what i was looking for

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? I’ve mentioned before that i didn’t find any questions that fit with my question

#2 
local sound = workspace.sound -- change
local part = workspace.Part -- change

local timeTillStart = 3
local canTouch = true

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) and canTouch then
		canTouch = false
		sound:Stop()
		
		delay(timeTillStart, function()
			sound:Play()
			canTouch = true
		end)
	end
end)

just change the variables and it should work

#3

so the “timeTillStart” can be changed to the amount of seconds?

#4

exactly, if its 5, then it will take 5 seconds till the sound starts again :joy:

#5

thank you, one more question, what script do i use and in what part do i put the script?

#6

you can use a server script if you want it to stop for every player in the game.

if not. use a local script and change the code to this

local sound = workspace.sound -- change
local part = workspace.Part -- change

local timeTillStart = 3
local canTouch = true

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local tPlr = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	if tPlr and tPlr == game.Players.LocalPlayer and canTouch then
		canTouch = false
		sound:Stop()

		delay(timeTillStart, function()
			sound:Play()
			canTouch = true
		end)
	end
end)

you can put the script inside the part that the player touches, but if its a local script you have to put it in som,ething like starterplayerscripts, or playergui

#7

it’s ment to be global (filler filler)

#8

Try this:
local music = game.workspace.music – Change this
local part = game.workspace.Part

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
music.Playing = false
wait(5) – Change this
music.Playing = true
end)

#9

the thing is, the music is in the SoundService

#10

local soundService = game:GetService(“SoundService”)
local sound = soundService:FindFirstChild(“Music”)
local part = game.Workspace.Part
part.Touched:Connect(function()
sound:Stop()
end)
wait(3) – wait for 3 seconds
sound:Play()

then this probably works if not then idk lol

#11

So i change the (“Music”) part to the ID?

#12

basically yeah replace the ID with the actual ID of the sound you want to play

#13

image
do i change the “local part” text to the part that stops the music?
The script is inside the part, is that supposed to happen?

#14

Yes sorry for the misunderstanding

#15

the music still plays, even after touching the part

#16

the errors say Line 5:

sound:Stop()

attempt to index nil with “stop”.

the script should only be used every time the music starts playing

#17

local part = script.Parent
local music = game.SoundService:FindFirstChild(“Sound”)
local function partTouched(otherPart, objectPart)
music:Stop()
wait(3) – Change this
music:Play()
end
part.Touched:Connect(partTouched)

Put the script in the part

#18

same result, music keeps playing, even after touching, error says line 4,
attempt to index nil with “stop”

#19

i tested it, it works for me sorry i dont think i can think of anymore solutions sorry

#20

could you share a video that shows that it works for you?
