Sounds Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I am trying to make a sound board for one of my games. It is a simple test that I wanted to try out. I put Many text buttons in a grid. Depending on which button I press It will play a different sound. And I want everyone in the server to be able to hear the sounds.

However it does not seen to be working. And I can not seem to figure out how to fix it. Whenever I click on a sound It does not play. The only time it did play is when I used a local script. But when I use a local script no one else can hear it.

This is how I organised it

Starter GUI > Frame > Text Buttons > Audio and Script.

script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	script.Parent["Crowd Reactions 1 (SFX)"]:Play()	
end)

I tried to see if the game was detecting me clicking on a sound button my adding…

print("Test")

… to the script. And surely enough it appeared in the output.

I know this is probably an easy fix but I don’t have much experience in scripting because im mostly a builder so don’t get mad at me if it is dumb mistake. :pray:

All help is appreciated :smiley:

I’m not too sure, but is .Playing true?

You’ll need to fire a remote event to the server and play it from there. If you want it to play to everyone.

#4

Do you mean like this

script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	script.Parent["Crowd Reactions 1 (SFX)"]:Play(true)	
end)

With true right after play?

Never mind, you might wanna look at
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/SoundService/PlayLocalSound

But I meant the sound property in the explorer.

Thank you, but this script is only for the client.

Plays a Sound locally, meaning the sound will only be heard by the client calling this function,

So that won’t work.

Thanks anyways!

Oh, I misunderstood what you wanted. You would have to do what @Valkyrop suggested.

When I try to fire a remote event, an error appears in the output that says:

13:45:16.944 FireServer can only be called from the client - Server

I changed everything up so now the script looks like this:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local SoundBoard = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SoundBoard")

local Sound = script.Parent["Crowd Reactions 1 (SFX)"]

script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()

print("Test")

SoundBoard:FireServer(Sound)

end)

I added a remote event to ReplicatedStorage Called SoundBoard

I also added a script to ServerScriptService:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SoundBoard = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SoundBoard")

SoundBoard.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, sound)
	sound:Play()
end)

It still does not seem to be working.

You should try

script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.CrowdReactions1(SFX):Play()	
end)

(Without the spaces is well)

#11

Not sure if this has been mentioned but make sure your sounds are parented to the workspace directly and everyone will hear them.

#12

So you mean adding them into the workspace rather then having them in the gui?

#13

Yes, just the sounds. . . . . .

#14

This should work better, and look cleaner.

Local sound = Script.parent.(Your sound here)

script.parent.Mousebutton1Click:Connect(function)
sound:play
end()

lemme know if this works

#15

Oh wait i made a minor mistake here.

this is how it Should be

Local sound = script.parent.(Your sound here)

script.parent.Mousebutton1Click:Connect(function)
sound:play()
end()
