Local Audio is paused when the client freezes

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I am making a game that has an animation with a sound(song) attached to it. If a player freezes, the sound is paused but the animation still plays. Both the animation and sound are locally played/made. Is there anyway to fix this?

I want the animation to match with the sound, not the other way around.

Freezes - The client opens up their accessibility tools on mobile. (There might be other ways to freeze on other devices)
Example:

Edit: I already know this is “normal behavior”. I just want to know how to workaround it!

#2

isn’t this normal behavior?

#3

I need more information like a script and a more clear definition of what you mean by freeze

#4

This is from my friend,
When he(the client) opens his phone’s menu, the audio starts to stop connecting with the animation

The script is basically just
Animation:Play()
Sound:Play()

#5

The post was to ask if there’s a way to stop it or workaround

By your reply, it’s the same thing as this:

Someone: “Hey guys I need some help, there’s an error that says “Unable to cast value to object”. How do I fix the error?”

You: “Isn’t this normal behavior?”

I didn’t mean that to be rude, I just didn’t know how else to explain it.

#6

It is normal behaivour, add keyframes for when the sound should to fix de-syncing issues, other than that I dont know of any ways to fix this

#7

It is all one audio. The animation is around 30 seconds long. Would it work?

#8

You could split the audio using audacity/other audio tools

#9

This does seem to look like normal behavior. From what I know, the only workaround to this problem would be to have a loop run every few seconds, and if the audio’s TimePosition is too far off, just re-sync it to the animation.

#10

I feel like TimePosition is glitching too. The game uses two animations and the second animation plays at a specific timestamp of the sound. When the sound de syncs, the second animation still plays at the timestamp as if the sound was still synced.

I still need help with this. Someone help or I will scratch the skin off my back

#12

meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

@PeculiarMei
There’s this though.

#14

again, this is a roblox intended feature for whatever reason? bit weird imo. you can still use keyframes to know when to do what. best solution i can think of rn

#15

I want to match the animation with the sound. Not the other way around

#16

you’re out of options then afaik

is there a reason it needs to be synced with the audio?

#19

Yeah, it’s just a lot more easier that way. Especially for my upcoming projects too.

Why’s it easier?
