First of all a missive thank you for taking some time out of your life viewing this query. Without further delay, let's begin!

So I'm currently developing a game and I want to add a music playlist to it. I tried to this myself and it works fine in Studio, but after I published it and tested it out it got kinda bugged. So let me show you what I actually did.

So the above file shows all the things related to sound and music. You may also have noticed there is a script in there. The script is

01while true do wait()
02    script.Parent:WaitForChild("CoffinDance"):Play()
03        wait(script.Parent:WaitForChild("CoffinDance").TimeLength)
04    script.Parent:WaitForChild("DoubleBox"):Play()
05        wait(script.Parent:WaitForChild("DoubleBox").TimeLength)
06    script.Parent:WaitForChild("OkBoomer"):Play()
07        wait(script.Parent:WaitForChild("OkBoomer").TimeLength)
08    script.Parent:WaitForChild("RainingTacos"):Play()
09        wait(script.Parent:WaitForChild("RainingTacos").TimeLength)
10end

I just don't know why it's running fine in Studio, but messing up when I publish the game.

I am not sure what "bugged" means, if you could comment with what exactly is bugged that would be helpful. Nevertheless, there is a .Ended event for Sound instances you can use rather than waiting for the timelength. You should also future-proof your code in case you add extra Sounds in the future.

01while true do wait()
02    --Get all children of playlist folder
03    for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
04        --Make sure object is a Sound
05        if v:IsA("Sound") then
06            --Play sound
07            v:Play() 
08            --Wait for .Ended event to fire (song ended)
09            v.Ended:Wait() 
10            --Continue to next sound
11        end
12    end
13end

Thanks man! You are a true lifesaver. :) XLeMysterioX 22 — 4y
