How do I make a sound play for a single player when they join?

So I want a sound to play for a player, everytime they join the game. However, with the way I did it, the sound plays for everyone, not the player who just joined the game. This is the code I used to play the sound file, and it is a localscript

Game.Workspace.Sound:Play()

Place the sound inside of the PlayerGui and play it from there.

My good sir, you help me so much with my game. Someones getting free VIP. (P.S. It's you.) Tallestmidget7 95 — 10y

Dumb question though, where is player GUI. I'm using the old studio version, not the new ribbon bar one. Tallestmidget7 95 — 10y

Okay, so to make it play for the player when they join, you will need to place the sound inside the StarterGui and then have a script play it when the join, except you will access it as PlayerGui Sublimus 992 — 10y

You could also change the source of the LocalScript to the following: local base=game:service'Lighting'.Join_Sound:clone();--Place the sound in Lighting and rename it to Join_Sound base=base:clone(); base.Parent=game:service'Workspace'.currentCamera; base:play();

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect( function(plr)
   newsound = game.Workspace.Sound:clone()
   newsound.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
   newsound:play()
end)

I think that's it... basically this does

When new player joins: Copy the sound into a new sound Put the new sound into the player's playergui Play the new sound.

Might be some problems with it, but try it :P

Oh whoops. Huner replied with a better way :P Nikola7007 25 — 10y

I can't find player playergui, if I click player in the explorer, nothing happens. There is nothing inside of player. Tallestmidget7 95 — 10y

That's because Players is just where it puts the players WHEN THEY JOIN the game. So you have to have a script that does something when a player joins. Nikola7007 25 — 10y

Ooh, that makes sense. Do you have any idea how I should go about making that script? Tallestmidget7 95 — 10y

playergui is located under the Players > YOURNAME > PlayerGui

Players is just empty for me. My name isn't in there, or anything for that matter. Tallestmidget7 95 — 10y
