Sound is not playing

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,

I want to play a sound globally but with a maxdistance.
When I typed “Sound.MaxDistance” “MaxDistance” was crossed out in the autocomplete, but I could still click it (its not red-underlined or anything)
I couldn’t see an error.

Script:

local Sound = script.Parent.Parent.Register1.Particle.Sound
	Sound.MaxDistance = 15
	Sound:Play()
	Sound.Ended:Wait()
	Sound:Stop()

I also tried this (doesn’t work)

local Sound = script.Parent.Parent.Register1.Particle.Sound
	Sound.RollOffMode = Enum.RollOffMode.Linear
	Sound.RollOffMaxDistance = 15
	Sound:Play()
	Sound.Ended:Wait()
	Sound:Stop()

It’s a ServerScript.

Try using RollOffMaxDistance instead of MaxDistance

Only thing I can think of is making sure the sound is a direct child of a part, meaning that if “Particle” is a ParticleEmitter, I do not think this will work, and you’ll have to move the Sound to an actual 3D part in order for MaxDistance to work properly.

“Particle” is a part so this cant be the issue :confused: And wdym by 3D Part, its a normal Basepart.

I did that in my second try, it didnt work.

#6

Are you sure the Sound you are using isn’t moderated?

#7

Try playing the sound normally so we can see if it’ll play at all.

#8

Weird… Mind sending a screenshot of your workspace (explorer tab)? (showing the parent of the sound)

#9

Yes, it does play. So that wont be the issue.

Try changing the max roll off value to 200, and play the sound then.
