Solved by putting sounds in a DockWidget (u have to clone parts for 3d sounds)
I still think it should be possible to play sounds in edit mode without having to clone to DockWidget.

Hi @coroutine_yieId

I found solution and it works becasue i tested it

Here is source:

You need to parent sound into DockWidgetPluginGui

My plugin script

local Toolbar = plugin:CreateToolbar("Toolbar")

local PlayTheSound = Toolbar:CreateButton("b","Button","")

local Sound = script:FindFirstChild("Sound")

local DockWidgetGui = plugin:CreateDockWidgetPluginGui("SoundHolder",DockWidgetPluginGuiInfo.new(
	Enum.InitialDockState.Left,
	false,
	false,
	500,
	500,
	200,
	200
	)
)

Sound.Parent = DockWidgetGui
Sound:Stop()

PlayTheSound.Click:Connect(function()
	if Sound.IsPlaying then
		Sound:Stop()
	else
		Sound:Play()
	end
end)

You don’t need any permission

Note:DockWidgetGui is just for holding sounds nothing else

Just make sure dockwidgetplugininfo is not Enabled and
InitialEnabled ,InitialEnabledShouldOverrideRestore must be false or it will randomly pop up DockWidgetPluginGui when starting

Hi @xcreatee
Your solution works perfectly for gui sounds.
but is there a way to play sounds that are in a part/attachment?

Clone sound into DockWidget and then destroy it after sound is finished?

5

i mean they have to be in the part/attachment so that you can hear depending on the position
