My game typewriting system keeps playing audio even after the typewriting is done?

#1

So, I’ve just came across this (as I’ve only now needed to use it) but whenever I play an audio inside of my typewrite for loop the audio keeps playing even after the text has finished being displayed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, (i know I don’t need the time positions I was just testing out ways to fix this.)

local function typewrite(object,text,length)
	object.MaxVisibleGraphemes = 0

	for i = 1,#text,1 do
		script.Parent.Parent.Audio.TimePosition = 0
		script.Parent.Parent.Audio:Play()
		object.Text = text
		object.MaxVisibleGraphemes = i
		task.wait(length)
	end
	script.Parent.Parent.Audio.TimePosition = 0
	script.Parent.Parent.Audio:Stop()
end

Try putting a print statement when stoping the audio maybe to see if it’s printing?

Hmm, for some reason It still keeps repeating the audio. I will try using print statements.

Maybe try setting the Volume to zero after the for loop is complete?

#6

no that doesnt seem to work either

#7

Are there any scripts that execute the function multiple times or other scripts that use that audio?

#8

There is another script that uses the typewriting with the same audio but it runs at different times.

are you sure the audio isnt looped?

yes. i did test it with looped to see if it fixes the issue but it didn’t so I turned off the loop.

Is the script you showed on the first post a Server Script?

#12

no its on a localscript for a gui

#13

is this function being fired multiple times?

You didn’t tick the Playing box or Looped Box?

Did u put the print statement after or 1 line above when u stop the audio?
If it printed multiple times then you are firing multiple functions and that maybe the problem
