What's the problem in this script?
I have this script that makes it when a player touches the Brick with the script in it, it'll pause BackgroundMusic1 and play BackgroundMusic2... But i don't know what I'm doing wrong!
function onTouched(hit)
if game.Workspace.BackgroundMusic1:Play() then
game.Workspace.BackgroundMusic1:Pause()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

Hope you can be able to read the script :/ DrTacoaX -5 — 9y

In the future, you can select the code and click the Lua symbol above the text box to apply the code formatting yourself. adark 5487 — 9y

On line 2 you're calling the Play method of BGMusic1. This doesn't return anything, so the second line never runs.
Sounds have a property called IsPlaying, so your code would work like so:
function onTouched(hit)
if game.Workspace.BackgroundMusic1.IsPlaying then
game.Workspace.BackgroundMusic1:Pause()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
However, it's not necessary to even make that check. Pausing a paused Sound does nothing at all.
There is a different check that must be made, though, to see if the Part that hit this brick belongs to a Player and isn't some debris from the workspace:
function onTouched(hit)
if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
--That method call returns `nil` if a Player cannot be found for the given `hit.Parent`.
--When hit.Parent is a Character model, it returns with that Characters' Player
--Because a Player object is 'truthy' (that is to say, it *isn't* `false` or `nil`), the `if` check passes.
game.Workspace.BackgroundMusic1:Pause()
end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
