Randomized death sound script not working?

Asked by

I have a game I'm working on and am trying to make it so upon death, the sound is random. Here's what I have so far:

function Died(p)
    wait(.001)
    local tracks=game.ServerStorage:GetChildren()
    local rn=math.random(1,#tracks)
    local track=tracks[rn]
    track:Play()

Anyone have any idea as to why it's not working? It's a local script in the workspace.

Your code is attempting to play a sound that is a child of ServerStorage. This will not work. You should move the sound into Workspace (for global sound) or, into the character of the player who has died (local sound)

I've moved all the sounds into a folder and put the folder into StarterPlayerScripts so it's in the actual player. I then made it so the script paths to the sounds folder in the player, selects a random sound, and plays it. But still, nothing happens. antaramize 15 — 3y

local SoundAmount = 0
local Sounds = {}

function Died(p)
    SoundAmount = 0
    Sounds - {}
    for _, e in pairs([path of sounds]:GetChildren() do
        SoundAmount = SoundAmount + 1
        table.Insert(Sounds, e)
    end
    local SoundChoice = math.random(1, SoundAmount)
    for i, e in ipairs(Sounds) do
        if SoundChoice == i then
            [path of sounds][e]:Play()
        end
    end
end)

As far as im concerned this should work. You might need to do some testing and debugging.
