Sound in LocalScripts doesn't play locally

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey,

I have a small problem, I hope theres a quick fix for that.

This LocalScript is in StarterPlayerScripts:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local HumanoidRootPart = Character:waitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local Beam = script:WaitForChild("Beam"):Clone()

local function CreateBeam(Beam, Attachment0, part)
	local Attachment1 = part:FindFirstChild("Attachment")

	if Attachment1 then
		Beam.Attachment0 =Attachment1
		Beam.Attachment1 =Attachment0
	end
end

local ArrowEventSound = script:WaitForChild("FirstTask")--this line
game.ReplicatedStorage.ArrowEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(part, Value)
	if Value == true then
		local Attachment0 = HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("RootRigAttachment")
		CreateBeam(Beam, Attachment0, part)
		Beam.Parent = Character
	elseif Value == false and Player.Backpack:FindFirstChild("Wheelbarrow") then
		Beam:Remove()
	elseif Value == false then
		ArrowEventSound:Play()
		Beam:Remove()
	end
end)

You see, the sound should play locally. But it doesn’t. Every player can hear the sound.
How do I fix that?

Would it be possible to show me the line of code on the server end of things that fires this remote event?

#3 
local Tool = script.Parent
local Player1 = Tool.Parent
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Player1)
--warn(20)
--warn("abcdef "..Player.Team.Name)
local ArrowEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ArrowEvent")
local Team = Player.Team.Name
local ArrowbeamEnd = workspace["Zednov's Tycoon Kit"].Tycoons[tostring(Team)].PurchasedObjects.Wheelbarrow.End.Part1 --here add a reference to wherevever Wheelbarrow.End.Part1 is


Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	ArrowEvent:FireClient(Player,ArrowbeamEnd,true)
	
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	ArrowEvent:FireClient(Player,ArrowbeamEnd,false)
end)

ServerStorage → Tool → Script

Sound isnt local

In soundservice, is RespectFilteringEnabled on or off? if it is off, then that explains your issue.

It is enabled. So that shouldn’t be the issue.

#6

Can I see the tool object, with it’s children in the explorer? This will help me further debug your issue as I think I know what is happening here…

#7

Put the sound in the workspace, then it will play

#8

You can move the Sound to workspace or put it inside the StarterGui. This way only the player can hear it.

You shouldn’t need to use a serverscript to be listening for an equipped event. It’s actually documented that these events should be observed on the client. As far as the sound being placed into workspace i don’t believe this will have much of an impact. Could be wrong though…

This would probably be a good starting point to getting this fixed…

#11

No, that didn’t solve the problem. :confused:

#12

How would I transer the script into a LocalScript? What would I need to change?

#13

To put it simply, just add the equipped and unequipped events into the localscript that already exists, and run your arrow event logic without having the remoteevent handling…

#14

Couldn’t you just call PlayLocalSound() from that LocalScript? Sound replication is weird when it comes to instances such as these, so I’d recommend placing the Sound inside SoundService/workspace or somewhere alone those lines

#15

So just replace Play() by PlayLocalSound() ?

#16

Uh, im not a scripter, sorry. I dont really know how to do that :joy:

#17

Yeah, keep in mind that you can only call this on the client side (LocalScripts)

It’s a LocalScript.

#19

Ah mistypos

It’s actually PlayLocalSound(), not LocalSoundPlay() :sweat_smile:

#20

I also did that and it doesn’t work. In the dev thing you sent its made like this:
PlayLocalSound(ArrowEventSound) would that be right?
