Waiting For Sound

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ll keep this short:

Which line of code do you guys think works better? Take a look:

Script A:

workspace.Sound.Ended:Wait()

Script B:

task.wait(workspace.Sound.TimeLength)

If you know which one’s better, please comment it down below, because I need to know this. Thank you.

First looks cleaner to me, as we can instantly see to which sound we will wait to end.

#3

What if the sound is looped?

According to Roblox, the Ended event won’t fire if the sound is looped, because it plays immediately after it completes.

#4

I don’t know which is better but I always use the first one.
edit: I do it a little changed its like a combination of both its
workspace.Sound.TimeLength:Wait()

#5

1st version (A) is what I like to use. But I also like to define where it is …

local sound = workspace.Sound
sound:Play()
sound.Ended:Wait()
#6

This is probably inefficient and creates problems

#7

You can’t do that pal…

I swear I could sec lemme hop on studio

#9

Well you have to check on that. Sound also has this connection inside of it.

My memory is so bad. This is the code I used so it is the second huh…
wait(sound.TimeLength)

#11

also why put the task.wait I never got that just do wait

#12

It’s alright, task.wait is more preferrable though.

#13

What I meant is:

task.wait(workspace.Sound.TimeLength)
#14

I solved the problem 20 minutes ago, but I’m still curious as to which method is better. The first option can’t be used if your sound is looped, so?

#16

Ok, Thanks For The Extra Info :smiley:

That was an answer to @fortnite_fan67154.
Anyway, waiting for the connection seems more responsive to me, as the sound might not instantly load and cut in the end.

Conclusion.
If not looped:

workspace.Sound.Ended:Wait()

If is looped:

workspace.Sound.DidLoop:Wait() -- :: will keep playing!

Also some additional info.
DidLoop returns:

local SoundId, AmountOfLoopsPlayed = workspace.Sound.DidLoop:Wait()

And Ended returns SoundId only.

I use Script B so it makes sense and I didnt knew about the Script A…
