I want the intro to play, then switch to looping the ain track then when the end is touched, play the outro. its for a chase sequence

if script:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace) then
	local repeatSound = true
	local triggered = false

	-- Function to repeat the MAIN audio
	local function repeatAudio(sound)
		while repeatSound do
			task.wait(0.2)
			-- Check if the sound has reached the end point
			if sound.TimePosition >= 60 then
				print("MAIN sound looped")
				sound.TimePosition = 7
			end
		end

		-- Stop the MAIN sound and play the OUTRO
		print("Stopping MAIN and playing OUTRO")
		sound:Stop()
		script.OUTRO:Play()
	end

	-- Function to handle the STOP event
	script.STOP.Value.Touched:Connect(function()
		print("STOP part touched")
		repeatSound = false
	end)

	-- Function to handle the START event
	script.START.Value.Touched:Connect(function()
		if not triggered then
			triggered = true
			print("START part touched, playing INTRO")
			script.INTRO:Play()
			script.INTRO.Stopped:Connect(function()
				print("INTRO stopped, playing MAIN")
				script.MAIN:Play()
				-- Start the repeatAudio function in a separate thread
				task.spawn(function()
					repeatAudio(script.MAIN)
				end)
			end)
		end
	end)
end

not helpful at all. focus on the topic

Hello! I believe I found the problem.

The .Stopped event will only fire if a script runs INTRO:Stop() on the track. What I think you meant to use is .Ended, which will fire once the sound finishes. You can read more about .Ended and .Stopped here.

So if you change the line of code I mentioned above into:
script.INTRO.Ended:Connect(function()
I believe it will work fine!
I would also recommend doing sound.Looped = true instead of creating a function, but if the function is needed then feel free to use it.

audio not stopping and outro not playing /: still the transition from into to main works

Maybe try using a repeat loop instead? Like this:

repeat
	task.wait(0.2)
	-- Check if the sound has reached the end point
	if sound.TimePosition >= 60 then
		print("MAIN sound looped")
		sound.TimePosition = 7
	end
until not repeatSound

I’m a bit lost too.

like that?

if script:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace) then
	local repeatSound = true
	local triggered = false

	-- Function to repeat the MAIN audio
	function repeatAudio(sound)
		repeat
			task.wait(0.2)
			-- Check if the sound has reached the end point
			if sound.TimePosition >= 60 then
				print("MAIN sound looped")
				sound.TimePosition = 7
			end
		until not repeatSound
		-- Stop the MAIN sound and play the OUTRO
		print("Stopping MAIN and playing OUTRO")
		sound:Stop()
		script.OUTRO:Play()
	end

	-- Function to handle the STOP event
	script.STOP.Value.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
		if hit:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
			repeatSound = false
		end
	end)

	-- Function to handle the START event
	script.START.Value.Touched:Connect(function()
		if not triggered then
			triggered = true
			print("START part touched, playing INTRO")
			script.INTRO:Play()
			script.INTRO.Ended:Connect(function()
				print("INTRO stopped, playing MAIN")
				script.MAIN:Play()
				-- Start the repeatAudio function in a separate thread
				repeatAudio(script.MAIN)
			end)
		end
	end)
end

welll for some reason it is not working still /:

#11

Why are you doing this all inside the first function? Get rid of it and just set your repeatSound and triggered variables first. You can’t check to see if the script is a descendant of workspace because if it isn’t then it can’t run that check.

You use triggered as a debounce to keep both Touched events from firing multiple times when a player touches a Part but you NEVER set it back to false, and you NEVER check to see if it’s true in the other functions which is what it’s designed to do.

I dont really have ideas then. You should try making another post or wait for someone else here to reply.
