Creating a Working Music Playlist?

Asked 290 views1 answers

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

while true do wait()
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("CoffinDance"):Play()
		wait(script.Parent:WaitForChild("CoffinDance").TimeLength)
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("DoubleBox"):Play()
		wait(script.Parent:WaitForChild("DoubleBox").TimeLength)
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("OkBoomer"):Play()
		wait(script.Parent:WaitForChild("OkBoomer").TimeLength)
	script.Parent:WaitForChild("RainingTacos"):Play()
		wait(script.Parent:WaitForChild("RainingTacos").TimeLength)
end

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.

while true do wait()
	--Get all children of playlist folder
	for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do 
		--Make sure object is a Sound
		if v:IsA("Sound") then
			--Play sound
			v:Play() 
			--Wait for .Ended event to fire (song ended)
			v.Ended:Wait() 
			--Continue to next sound
		end
	end
end
