Infinite Yields, and not being able to find children

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi I’m trying to make a boombox for my game but it isn’t working. I need to find a child called “PlaySong” but I can’t find it. I tried .Child, WaitForChild, and FindFirstChild but it always resulted in nothing, errors, or infinite yields. Here is my codez;

Client:

local PlaySong = script.Parent.PlaySong
local Tool = script.Parent

local Backpack = script.Parent.Parent
local PlayerGui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.PlayerGui
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	for i, v in pairs(PlayerGui.Gui:GetChildren()) do
		v.Visible = true
	end
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	for i, v in pairs(PlayerGui.Gui:GetChildren()) do
		v.Visible = false
	end
	if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Sound") then
		print(script.Parent.Sound.Name)
		script.Parent.Sound:Destroy()
	end
end)

PlaySong:

local Backpack = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Backpack

local Boombox = Backpack.Boombox

local PlaySong = Boombox:FindFirstChild("PlaySong")
local ID = script.Parent.Parent.ID.Text

local Handle = Boombox:FindFirstChild("Handle")
Boombox.PlaySong:FireServer(Handle, ID)
print("Fired Server")

Server:

local Backpack = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Backpack
Backpack.Boombox.PlaySong.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Handle, ID)
	local Sound = Instance.new("Sound", Handle)
	Sound.SoundId = ("rbxassetid://"..ID)
	Sound:Play()
	print(Sound.Name, Sound.Parent, "Working", Sound.SoundId)
end)

I can provide additional information if needed. Please help.

umm why so many parents?

#3

maybe the parts have only been created on the client, if so then it wouldnt work on the server.

#4

You were right about that, thanks, but it still says it isn’t PlaySong can’t be found.

#5

Because that’s the path to backpack?

#6

if its a localscript, just use this?

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local BP = Player.Backpack
#7

Well it doesn’t really matter, does it?

#8

It probably does, is playsong script inside a tool?

#9

Yes it is inside a tool.filerererererere

#10

Then just reference the tool?

local Tool = script.Parent
local PlaySong = Tool:WaitForChild("PlaySong")
#11

The scripts with many parents were in the player gui so they don’t have that power. But it still doesn’t matter.

#12

does it even know that it’s Boombox is? maybe do a print check

#13

I can’t because the script giving a problem fires an event when it give the error.

#14

When a tool is equipped it changed its parent to player.Character

#15

The item is in the tool. That has nothing to do with this I don’t think.
