Why this local script isnt skipping random music?

Asked 183 views1 answers

When you first join, it plays random music, which is nice, but if the player doesnt like it, they can skip the music which I added it at the bottom. The thing is it doesn't work. I've tried soundObject.Ended:Wait(), soundObject.Stop(), both doesn't work either.

Where is this script located? It is located in ReplicatedFirst and the sound is parented in the Local Script.

local soundIds = {1178506899, 6549839923, 1271178762} --BlendS, FushqYeah!, Highlight
local soundObject = script.Sound
local lastMusicId = soundIds[1]

while true do
	local playingMusicId = soundIds[math.random(1, #soundIds)]
	print(playingMusicId)

	if playingMusicId == lastMusicId then
		repeat playingMusicId = soundIds[math.random(1, #soundIds)] wait(1) until playingMusicId~= lastMusicId
		print(playingMusicId)
		lastMusicId = playingMusicId
	else
		soundObject.SoundId = "rbxassetid://" .. playingMusicId
		soundObject:Play()
		soundObject.Ended:Wait()
	end
end

local SkipButton = script.Parent.Parent.StarterGui.FiestaGui.Setting.Frame.SkipButton

SkipButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	soundObject.Playing = false
end)

Give me about 30 minutes. I'll see what I can do. It's not as simple.

  1. Insert a ScreenGui into StarterGui.

-- StarterGui basically waits till a player joins the game then clones all of its contents to the PlayerGui located in game.Players[Player.Name].PlayerGui.

2 . Insert a TextButton into the ScreenGui we made.

--This is our SkipButton. When changing the size, make sure it uses only Scale not offset using Scale will resize it for all device's

note: You can rename them because this script won't define them by the name.

3 . Insert a LocalScript into the SkipButton.

4 . Insert a Sound into the script just like how you did it.

Inside of the LocalScript:

local skipButton = script.Parent
local soundObj = script.Sound
local soundIds = {1178506899, 6549839923, 1271178762}
local currentSongId = nil

local function randomSong()
    while true do
        local randomSongId = soundIds[math.random(1,#soundIds)]
        if randomSongId ~= currentSongId or currentSongId == nil then
            soundObj.SoundId = "rbxassetid://" ..  randomSongId
            soundObj:Play()
            currentSongId = randomSongId
            soundObj.Ended:Wait()
        end
    end
end


skipButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(randomSong)
randomSong()

more songs make it more random

something just ticked in my head and it seems that it does more than the last code and it's shorter

if you want to copy and paste the script just hover your mouse over my code and you should see view source in the top right corner
