Playing a sound when opening a dialog

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to play a sound for the player when he opens a dialog (clicks on the question mark)

  2. What is the issue?
    I could not find a way to play the sound when the player clicks on the question mark. I found a way to play the sound, but only if the player chooses a DialogChoice.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I’ve looked up on the internet and devhub for solutions, but couldn’t find one.

Thanks if you can help me! :wink:

Thank you for finding it, it prints but wont play the sound

Can you send your code where it’s supposed to play the sound?

#5

Sure! Here is the code:

local dialog = script.Parent
local sound = script.Parent.sound

dialog:GetPropertyChangedSignal("InUse"):Connect(function()
	if dialog.InUse == true then
		print("Playing")
		sound:Play()
		print("Played")
	end
end)

It prints both “Playing” and “Played” but the sound still wont play.

Just use

Local sound = -- where ever your sound is
	sound:play() -- put this wherever you want it to play at assuming you're using a script for this dialog

Or is the dialogue Roblox’s dialogue?

I dropped this in a menu for a test … works fine when opened.
LocalScript, in the frame… sound within.

local frame=script.Parent
local sound=script:WaitForChild("Sound")

frame:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Visible"):Connect(function()
	if frame.Visible then
		sound:Play()
	end
end)

Yes, it is Roblox’s dialogue. It is not a UI.
