Unable to play sound through fireclient

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Currently, I’m trying to play a sound in a local script by detecting whether a remote event had been fired after the player’s sword had hit a humanoid. The local script does detect the event, however, the sound does not play. Any help?

Local Script

script.MeleeDMG.OnClientEvent:connect(function(Player, Type)
	if Type == "PlayHit" then
		local soundSwordFHit = h.OneHanded.SwordOneHit
		soundSwordFHit.SoundId = "rbxassetid://935843979"
		soundSwordFHit:Play()
	end
	if Type == "PlayBlocked" then
		local soundSwordOneBlocked = h.OneHanded.SwordOneBlocked
		local sound = math.random(1,2)
		if sound == 1 then
			soundSwordOneBlocked.SoundId = "rbxassetid://211059855"
			soundSwordOneBlocked:Play()	
		else	
			soundSwordOneBlocked.SoundId = "rbxassetid://357622136"
			soundSwordOneBlocked:Play()
		end		
	end
end)

Server Script

	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and not hit.Parent.Humanoid.Blocking.IsBlockingLeft.Value then
	hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(DMG)
	script.Parent:FireClient(Player, "PlayHit")
elseif hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and hit.Parent.Humanoid.Blocking.IsBlockingLeft.Value then
	if (lookVector:Dot(Position) < 1) then
		hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(DMG)
		script.Parent:FireClient(Player, "PlayHit")
	else
		script.Parent:FireClient(Player, "PlayBlocked")
	end
end

Edit
The local script is returning “Type” as a nil value?

Try putting the id in the propertires, and when you define the sound you should add a clone:()

Edit maybe it’s the sound i dont see anything wrong

#3

The sound seems to play when I remove the “if type then” statements from the local script. However, I’d prefer another solution to this.

#4

Your OnClientEvent function argument should not include the player, just the type.

script.MeleeDMG.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Type)
#5

I have already tried that, it returns with “Unable to cast value to Object”

Nvm, Why are you trying to play this sound client sided?

#7

I’m trying to find a way to play a sound so that people far away can’t hear it. When played on the server script, the volume doesn’t seem to change even when I had lowered the emitter size and what not.
I’m assuming when played in a local script the sound is only played through the one player?

#8

It look like there is a problem with your server passing the Player. Can you show us what is the Player in your server script?

I’m unsure what you mean, but:

Sorry for not making it clear. I mean the Player that you pass on the :FireClient event. In here

script.Parent:FireClient(Player, "PlayBlocked")

Maybe after validating the Homanoid part try to pass this

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
script.Parent:FireClient(player, "PlayBlocked")
#11

I may be wrong but, in local scripts you cant use:

.OnClientEvent

that script is client, instead use:

.OnServerEvent

or something like that, .OnClientEvent in local scripts makes them work bit broken (at last when i did it)

#12

You just need to remove Player from the LocalScript so it becomes function(Type)

#13

As mentioned before, this will come out with “Unable to cast value Object”

#14

I am playing the sound in the player who has hit the humanoid. Would I need to specify player if it would just be me saying “local player = Player”?

#15

If that is the case then you are running some code that is not what you have shown us. Please highlight line 34 of your code where the error is occurring

#16

Yes I understand, but you detected the hit from the server script. That is why I asked what is the Player you passed in the FireClient referencing to, because you don’t show it. I am thinking that you are not passing the actual player in this case.

#17

Line 34 is just me firing the remote event

script.Parent:FireClient(Player, "PlayBlocked")
#18

What is parent of sound? If is player, then i dont know why sound dosent play, if its script then, well you have to place sound in player not in script, if nill then sound must be in player.

#19

But that is from the server script. You should not remove Player from the server script. You should only remove it from the LocalScript

Ah I see, but when I print Player the output is the player?
