Hello. I am trying to create a music player that does not repeat songs in a row. When using math.random, a song ended up playing 5 times in a row, which is not what I want. I want a music player that will not repeat songs.
I used this post as reference for my script
However when I used the solution in the post, I got the same error as shown in the title, so I attempted to edit it, yet I still get the same error.
I don’t know what went wrong?
Here is my code:
math.randomseed(tick())
local AvailableMusic = {9043591515,9043592895,1842259478,1836891661,1841984324,1848354536,1843041874,9040291273,1838834495,1838091800}
while (#AvailableMusic > 0) do
print("shuffling playlist...")
table.sort(AvailableMusic, function()
return Random.new():NextNumber() < 0.5
end)
for track, song in ipairs(AvailableMusic) do
script.Parent.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..song
script.Parent:Play()
script.Parent.Ended:Wait()
wait(2)
end
print("end of playlist reached.")
end
I tried out your solution, and it seems to work at first however it only plays one song. It does not play the next song. I’m not sure if I may have missed something or not, please let me know. Here is my code:
math.randomseed(tick())
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local audios = game.ReplicatedStorage.Music:GetChildren()
local feed = {}
local function getAudio()
return audios[math.random(1, #audios)]
end
while true do
local current = getAudio()
if table.find(feed, current.Name) then
repeat current = getAudio() task.wait() until not table.find(feed, current.Name)
end
table.insert(feed, current.Name)
if #feed > math.floor(#audios/2) then
table.remove(feed, 1)
end
current:Play()
current.Ended:Wait()
end
I can’t tell what’s the issue, so you have to add some print functions to see where’s the problem.
Btw, you can replace line current.Ended:Wait() with
task.wait(3)
current:Stop()
to not wait for the song to end.
math.randomseed(tick())
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local audios = game.ReplicatedStorage.Music:GetChildren()
local feed = {}
local function getAudio()
return audios[math.random(1, #audios)]
end
while true do
print("current feed:", feed)
local current = getAudio()
print("\nselected song:", current)
if table.find(feed, current.Name) then
repeat current = getAudio() task.wait() print("song already played") until not table.find(feed, current.Name)
end
print("adding song to the feed")
table.insert(feed, current.Name)
if #feed > math.floor(#audios/2) then
table.remove(feed, 1)
end
current:Play()
print("the song is playing, waiting")
current.Ended:Wait()
print("the song has stopped playing")
end
@crumbsinmytoes, looking at your code, I think that the issue is somewhere outside the script. Although, that may not be true.
So I ended up creating a fresh game, just a blank baseplate, since you said the issue may be outside the script. I moved the music folder and the script that you gave me into the blank game and the same issue is still happening. Plays one song, then doesn’t play the next. I don’t understand why it is not working, because it did print saying the next song was playing however I could not hear it.
Muzak Maker is the second song that should have been playing, yet I could not hear it.
Huh, weird that it didn’t work for me. I used your rblx and switched your songs out with my songs and it works perfectly. Thank you so much! Sorry for the trouble.
