Intro Song for Group

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello there!

I have a script which basically runs a song when someone with that specific rank joins the game, but it isn’t working.

I made sure to give the permissions, I checked other work from the Toolbox but it isn’t what I need. I have tried looking around the the Devforum but I couldn’t find anything related to this topic.

local songs = {
	["14253378"] = {
		["14"] = 9616160367,
		["13"] = 9616159629,
		["9"] = 9616158066,
		["5"] = 9616165516,
		["4"] = 9616164972,
	},
	["14243751"] = {
		["16"] = 9616166692
	},
	["14252305"] = {
		["11"] = 9616208762,
		["10"] = 9616161750,
		["9"] = 9616232668
	},
	["14252276"] = {
		["11"] = 9616164122;
	},
	["14401043"] = {
		["7"] = 9616162852;
		["6"] = 9616162852;
		["5"] = 9616162852;
		["4"] = 9616162852;
		["3"] = 9616162852;
		["2"] = 9616162852;
		["1"] = 9616162852;
	},
}

function checkIfLoaded(song)
	return song.IsLoaded
end

function playSong(id)
	local song = Instance.new("Sound")
	song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..id
	song.Parent = game:GetService("SoundService")
	song.Volume = 10
	song.Loaded:Connect(function()
		song:Play()
	end)
	song.Ended:Connect(function()
		song:Destroy()
	end)
end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	if songs[14253378][player:GetRankInGroup(14253378)] then
		playSong(songs[14253378][player:GetRankInGroup(14253378)])
	elseif songs[14243751][player:GetRankInGroup(14243751)] then
		playSong(songs[14243751][player:GetRankInGroup(14243751)])
	elseif songs[14252305][player:GetRankInGroup(14252305)] then
		playSong(songs[14252305][player:GetRankInGroup(14252305)])
	elseif songs[14252276][player:GetRankInGroup(14252276)] then
		playSong(songs[14252276][player:GetRankInGroup(14252276)])
	elseif songs[14401043][player:GetRankInGroup(14401043)] then
		playSong(songs[14401043][player:GetRankInGroup(14401043)])
	end
end)

That’s because you’re using string numbers at the top and regular numbers at the bottom. Regular numbers are also used to find a value at a given key.

array[1] = first value in the array
array["1"] = referencing key named "1"

#3

So what do I add to the script?

Sorry I am not really knowledgable in scripting :sweat_smile:

#4

You can use tostring() to convert the numbers into strings.

#5

And where do I add this line of code?

Like for example, line 47?

Although, I’d go about this in a little bit of a different way to avoid having to write everything out like this.

#8

Hmmmm it seems that it doesn’t work. Any more ways to fix this?

#9

Are there any errors or is it just not working?

#10

This is mostly correct, however you’re trying to use SoundService. This, I believe, is not how SoundService works and you should be parenting it to something like Lighting. Workspace would then be affected by distance so that doesn’t work as well.

#11

SoundService is actually the preferred place you’re supposed to use, just how ServerStorage/ReplicatedStorage replaced storing things in the Lighting. But that’s entirely optional.

I think the actual issue is that it’s using song.Loaded, which may have loaded before the event was even connected. I would just play or yield until loaded and then play.

#12

So I put the sound in the serverscriptstorage?

#13

No, the sound is good where it’s at. The sound wouldn’t be heard from there.

#14

Why‘s it using .loaded anyways? Doesn’t seem to change a thing using or not using it.
