Play a sound when touching a part

1: the script below unanchors all parts of a group and emits smoke when touched. is there a way it can also make a sound when touched? and what will be the locations. 2: can there be a cooldown on the smoke emitter and sound

local function emitSmoke()
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		v.Anchored = false
		local smoke = Instance.new("Smoke")
		smoke.Parent = v
		smoke.Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
		smoke.Opacity = 0.15
		smoke.RiseVelocity = 4
	end
	
	wait(2) -- Amount of till making smoke dissapear
	
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		v.Smoke:Destroy()
	end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(emitSmoke)

You should consult this article:

This will allow you to play sounds with just a few lines of code, if you place it in your script at the correct place it will make a sound.

Hope this helps,

this script should have a cooldown:

local ready = true
local sound = script.Parent.Sound--Change to your sound location.
local function emitSmoke()
if ready == true then
	ready = false
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		v.Anchored = false
		local smoke = Instance.new("Smoke")
		smoke.Parent = v
		smoke.Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
		smoke.Opacity = 0.15
		smoke.RiseVelocity = 4
	end
	sound:Stop()
	sound:Play()
	
	wait(2) -- Amount of till making smoke dissapear
	
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		v.Smoke:Destroy()
	end
	ready = true
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(emitSmoke)

    local SP = script.Parent

 function onTouch (hit)
local H = hit.Parent : FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if H ~= nil then
SP.S:Play()
end
end


script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

it doesnt matter. such as if you put the sound under the part that the script is in it would be script.Parent.Sound

where do i change the cooldown of smoke and sound?

#8

its already set. its the if statement (the 1st line of the function)

#9

So exactly how long is the cool down?

#10

its until the smoke is finished, you can increase if you need

#11

yes, i added a wait(), also, when i touch the part it doesnt unanchor, play a sound nor emit smoke anymore. no errors in output? whats wrong here

#12

may I ask where you put the wait()?

#13

it doesnt really matter because i deleted it and it still doesnt work but i put it in front of the local ready = true

#14

local scripts dont work in workspace if you didnt know (if you’re using a local script).

#15

its a normal script inside a part inside a model

#16

does the model unanchor still?

#17

nope, the script completely doesnt work anymore

#18

then it’d be much easier to do this:

local ready = true
local sound = script.Parent.Sound--Change to your sound location.
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
if ready == true then
	ready = false
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		v.Anchored = false
		local smoke = Instance.new("Smoke")
		smoke.Parent = v
		smoke.Color = Color3.new(0, 0, 0)
		smoke.Opacity = 0.15
		smoke.RiseVelocity = 4
	end
	sound:Stop()
	sound:Play()
	
	wait(2) -- Amount of till making smoke dissapear
	
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		v.Smoke:Destroy()
	end
	ready = true
end
end)
