Trying to make it so when a player chats a specific message, the players head makes a noise to act as if the player is saying something. I tried it two different ways but for some reason the player’s head isn’t being detected and the sound doesn’t play. An easy fix in someone’s eye but since I mainly code UI, not really sure what I am doing wrong.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
if message == "Hello" then
local playerHead = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
local newSound = Instance.new("Sound", playerHead)
newSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://12073820860"
newSound.Volume = 1
newSound:Play()
newSound.Ended:Connect(function()
newSound:Destroy()
end)
end
end)
end)
local Text = "Hello"
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
if Message:lower():match(Text:lower()) then
local newSound = Instance.new("Sound")
newSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://12073820860"
newSound.Volume = 1
newSound.Parent = Player.Character.Head
newSound:Play()
game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(newSound, newSound.TimeLength + 0.1)
end
end)
end)
I think you are only running this function when the player is added. Don’t you need to run the a separate function to detect if the player is chatting (I may be completely wrong here).
Also, load the sound into the head when the player is added so it’s stored there, not inside the function every time the player chats. Just use the “hello” chat to play the sound that’s already loaded in the head.
local Text = "Hello"
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
local newSound = Instance.new("Sound")
newSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://12073820860"
newSound.Volume = 1
newSound.Parent = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Head")
end)
Player.Chatted:Connect(function(Message)
if Message:lower():match(Text:lower()) then
Player.Character.Head.Sound:Play()
end
end)
end)
Well originally, we had it to where if a Player 1 said something, a random player (Player 2 out of the player list) would play the audio to act as a reaction type thing to what Player 1 said. Now our player base for our game wants it so the Player 1 chats a specific message and their head makes a sound. Since the person who originally worked with us for this script is no longer around, I’m kinda just winging it.
Old code is below if that helps:
local function chatEvent(player, soundId, volume)
local allPlayers = Players:GetPlayers()
local chosenHead = nil
while not chosenHead and #allPlayers > 0 do
local chosenIndex = math.random(#allPlayers)
local playerToCheck = allPlayers[chosenIndex]
if playerToCheck.Character then
chosenHead = playerToCheck.Character:FindFirstChild("Head")
print(playerToCheck.Name .. " was chosen for a chat event")
end
table.remove(allPlayers, chosenIndex)
end
if chosenHead then
local newSound = Instance.new("Sound", chosenHead)
newSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..tostring(soundId)
newSound.Volume = volume
newSound:Play()
newSound.Ended:Connect(function()
newSound:Destroy()
end)
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
muffinPlayers[player.UserId] = false
burritoPlayers[player.UserId] = false
chocolatePlayers[player.UserId] = false
balloonPlayers[player.UserId] = false
sleepPlayers[player.UserId] = false
urDonePlayers[player.UserId] = false
chattedEvents[player.UserId] = player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
if msg == "The muffin man?" then
if not muffinPlayers[player.UserId] then
muffinPlayers[player.UserId] = true
chatEvent(player, 12073820860, 1)
spawn(function()
wait(60)
muffinPlayers[player.UserId] = false
end)
end
elseif msg == "Who wants a burrito?" then
if not burritoPlayers[player.UserId] then
burritoPlayers[player.UserId] = true
chatEvent(player, 1131015006, 1.5)
spawn(function()
wait(60)
burritoPlayers[player.UserId] = false
end)
end
elseif msg == "Chocolate" then
if not chocolatePlayers[player.UserId] then
chocolatePlayers[player.UserId] = true
chatEvent(player, 12385692922, 1)
spawn(function()
wait(60)
chocolatePlayers[player.UserId] = false
end)
end
elseif msg == "What is that in the sky?" then
if not balloonPlayers[player.UserId] then
balloonPlayers[player.UserId] = true
chatEvent(player, 12434715719, 1)
spawn(function()
wait(60)
balloonPlayers[player.UserId] = false
end)
end
elseif msg == "Go to sleep" then
if not sleepPlayers[player.UserId] then
sleepPlayers[player.UserId] = true
chatEvent(player, 1356600472, 1)
spawn(function()
wait(60)
sleepPlayers[player.UserId] = false
end)
end
elseif msg == "ur done" then
if not urDonePlayers[player.UserId] then
urDonePlayers[player.UserId] = true
chatEvent(player, 12614040280, 1)
spawn(function()
wait(60)
urDonePlayers[player.UserId] = false
end)
end
end
end)
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
chattedEvents[player.UserId]:Disconnect()
end)
It may be as simple as loading the sound into the head when the player joins as I suggested. It may take a split second for the sound to load every and every time you want to play it, and by that time it’s played and destroyed.
Try putting the following for troubleshooting purposes so you can see the time difference between the ‘loaded’, played and destroyed times.
if chosenHead then
print playerToCheck.Name --I'm not sure of the hierarchy here, may need to modify this
local newSound = Instance.new("Sound", chosenHead)
newSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..tostring(soundId)
print("sound should be loaded")
newSound.Volume = volume
newSound:Play()
print("sound being played")
newSound.Ended:Connect(function()
newSound:Destroy()
end)
end
