Trouble creating sound when Keyframe Marker is met

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Okay, so let’s get straight into it. I’m not very good at coding, and only just started. I’ve looked at documentations and other forums to find out how to make sound when a marker is met.
I don’t want to adjust the speed of the animation, but the footsteps that is out of sync annoys me!

I’m using R6, and I am also using the default Animate script that roblox players spawn with in-game.

I’ve tried to do the script with examples, but this is as far as I could get, with it leading to an error.

local Humanoid = script.parent.Humanoid

function playFootstepSound()
	local anim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animate.walk.WalkAnim)
	print("Sound played!")
end

local onStep = GetMarkerReachedSignal('foothit')

onStep:Connect(playFootstepSound)

I get an error "Workspace.Ssandst0rm.footsteps:8: attempt to call a nil value in the output.

I’ve been stuck on this for a while now, so any help is very much appreciated.

I am not sure, but I think you’d have to do:

anim:GetMarkerReachedSignal("foothit")

Sorry if it doesn’t work.

#3

This might work if I re-arrange the script, since the variable for the animation is only called inside of the Function. I’ll update you if it works!

Here’s some useful websites

hmm, took a look at what you said and changed it around! The function no longer exists, but the print works and the output no longer says the Marker is me calling a nil value!

Tricky part now is that the sound only plays once, and it doesn’t even matter if im walking or not! Tricky indeed.

local Humanoid = script.parent.Humanoid
anim = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.Parent.Animate.walk.WalkAnim)

if anim:GetMarkerReachedSignal("foothit") then
	script.Walk:Play()
	print("Sound played!")
end

I think there is a Looped property, but only for AnimationTracks. You’d have to set it to true:

animTrack.Looped = true

Edit: I thought you wanted the anim to loop, sorry

There is also a Looped property for a Sound, just set the Volume to more than 0, and you shouldn’t use Play.

sound.Looped = true
sound.Volume = --the volume

And when you want it to stop, just set Looped to false or set the Volume to 0.

anim:GetMarkerReachedSignal("foothit"):Connect(function()
    script.Walk:Play()
    print("Sound played!")
end)
