Greetings delevopers! I’ve encountered a weird problem where the sound doesnt play in my script.
So basically i wanted to make a sound-fade script, if you reached x studs to npc, itll play sound. I made a script that wont work so i wanted to ask for help. Thank you!
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local function getNPC()
return workspace:FindFirstChild("EnemyNPC")
end
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
local npc = getNPC()
if not npc then return end
local npcRoot = npc:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local sound = npc:FindFirstChild("Tung Tung Tung Sahur")
if not (npcRoot and sound) then return end
local playerRoot = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
if not playerRoot then return end
local distance = (playerRoot.Position - npcRoot.Position).Magnitude
if distance <= 20 then
if not sound.IsPlaying then
sound:Play()
end
else
if sound.IsPlaying then
sound:Stop()
end
end
end)
This might be why. You blocked your sound card’s micro-transistors that wa-
Jokes aside. It depends:
Do you want the sound to be emitted from the character (so you know where is it from)? Try putting the sound in a part of the character and change RollOffMaxDistance to 20 and, if you want the volume to be the same all the time, RollOffMinDistance to 20 too.
If you want to do exactly what your scripted is supposed to do, I need more information. What happens when you play the sound manually? Did you try putting print("it should play") before the sound plays? This can be very useful.
Sound is already in character. Nothing prints at all, changed rolls as you said, nothing happened, quite confusing. Maybe this occurs because im trying to do this manipulations in local script, or it doesnt rlly matter?
Edit: I also tried playing it manually, sound just plays without scripting
This. My question with “playing manually” was to determine whether the sound is in measure to be played. It is, which means that the script is indeed the problem. In your scenario, it’s the fact it’s a localscript in a character.
A LocalScript runs for a player. In a NPC, it won’t know who is the player compared to a tool, a PlayerScript or something else. You need to use this LocalScript in PlayerScripts (put in StarterPlayer → StarterPlayerScripts) and use a workaround to find the NPC.
For that, I advise you to put a line in the server script (if there’s one?) that will assign a value or something that will allow to the local script to find it in ease. If you want to go simpler, you can also simply find it from the local script (but if there are multiple NPCs that would be problematic.
EDIT: You likely have nothing to do else because you already find the NPC so. So just put in in StarterPlayerScripts and you should be good!
Looks good logic wise… Make sure it’s a LocalScript and may as well drop it in StarterCharacterScripts,
because the script depends on the player’s character existing. Test the sound in a temp script to be sure it’s working.
The only problem is that the script doesn’t need to call CharacterAdded in that scenario. If you can, it is advised to try using PlayerScripts as they don’t have to reload each time, which is better for performance (uhm, from a little bit, but you see what I mean).
Not only that, but if the player dies, the sound will restart when they respawn since it makes a new script. But whatsoever, it’s up to OP to know what’s best for them.
doesn’t really matter to me cause i lack skills in scripting in order to make a game. I’m just learning right so thats cool for me anyways and i like the result
