How do I successfully play sounds in a part?
Hey, so I am trying to make this code emit a random sound from a part. I also want it to play another sound after the other is done playing. These sounds are children of the part. I wrote this script but it's not playing the sound, I guess it sees 'randomItem' as a number.
local items = script.Parent:GetChildren()
for _, v in ipairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v.ClassName == "Sound" then
v:GetChildren(items)
local randomItem = math.random(#items)
print(#items)
randomItem.Playing = true
end
end
Are there any other methods of doing this better? Please let me know if there are, thanks!

Yeah I think I can help with that
This is wrong If your trying to get a random Item
local randomItem = math.random(#items)
But this is how you do it
local randomItem = items[math.random(1, #items)]
math.random needs 2 values, minimum and maximum numbers. so you can get one item in the Array called "items" by saying "item[number here]" the random number will go there
Please accept if this helped

Thank you! There is still one problem though, it plays all of the sounds at once, do you know how that can be fixed? If not, that's alright. Ashton011 30 — 4y
