RbxCharacterSounds, Freefalling Sound is Missing Code Line to Actually Play the Sound

[knightmb1 (KnightMB)]

Bug Report Details: The Freefalling sound in the RbxCharacterSounds never plays when falling from high locations because the command to play it is missing.

Where: Roblox Client

When: Always

Roblox Client Version: \AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions\version-ad321ed0d27f48b2\RobloxPlayerBeta.exe [v0.640.0.43739]

Environment: Windows 11, Windows 10, or Windows 7, 16GB of RAM for all OS versions.

How to Reproduce: Create a base plate, make a height higher than say 200 studs and jump off with your character. The freefalling sound does not play because the line of code to start the looping sound is missing. This has been a bug for years, but it seems no one has ever submitted a bug report for it, so might as well get it fixed.

How to Fix: Open up the latest version of the RbxCharacterSounds, scroll down to this section:

[Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall] = function()
	sounds.FreeFalling.Volume = 0
	stopPlayingLoopedSounds(sounds.FreeFalling)
	playingLoopedSounds[sounds.FreeFalling] = true
end,

Change it to this and it works like the others now.

[Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall] = function()
	sounds.FreeFalling.Volume = 0
	stopPlayingLoopedSounds(sounds.FreeFalling)
	sounds.FreeFalling.Playing = true
	playingLoopedSounds[sounds.FreeFalling] = true
end,

This change shouldn’t break anything on the legacy games or players since the sound never played before, but now it can properly.

Already reported:

Free-fall sound never plays

Repro steps: Open a Baseplate Start a playtest Manually set your character’s CFrame very high up so that you fall for a while Expected behavior: Given that the sound action_falling.mp3 exists in the Roblox files, you should hear a “whooshing” of wind as you are falling. Actual behavior: A mistake in the RbxCharacterSounds script prevents the FreeFall sound from playing. On line 159, we see the function that gets called when the player’s Humanoid changes to the FreeFall state: ... [Enum.H…

Explains why I couldn’t find it, it was in the wrong category.
The fix in the other topic doesn’t work though because they have it start to play the sound, then stop the sound, which breaks it again.
Mine has the correct way to fix the issue, you stop any looping sounds first (just in case), then play the looping falling sound.

It seems to be perfectly functional to me… It can play multiple times, start/stop/restart etc.

It was starting/stopping when I tried it?
