Most efficient way to play gunshot sounds

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve tried multiple methods such as:

  • Playing the sound effect via the server with a remote event
  • Playing the sound effect locally and via the server
  • Playing the sound effect locally

None of these seem to be efficient and I wondered if there was a better way to play the sound effects…

#2

You could play it locally, and just fire a remote that tells all other clients to hear a gunshot
Otherwise best way would probably to use a remote

#3

The problem is, when firing the weapon (specially when firing automatically), sometimes the sound effects don’t even play.

#4

Maybe this has to due with the sound rather than execution?
You could setup a sound specifically for automatic mode that is a gun firing in automatic, rather than relying on playing a sound multiple times you could simply loop this sound.

#5

I ended playing the sound effect locally, firing a remote with the sound data and then firing every other client in order to play the sound locally for the other players.
