Script works in studio but not in game?

Asked by

local Torso = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Torso")

local sound = Instance.new("Sound",Torso)
sound.Volume=1
sound.Pitch=1
sound.Name=""
sound.Looped=true
sound.PlayOnRemove=false
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Format = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=##ID##"
local frame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Frame")

frame:WaitForChild("Play").MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    local input = tonumber(frame:WaitForChild("Input").Text)
    if input then
        sound:Stop()
        sound.SoundId=Format:gsub("##ID##", tostring(input))
        sound:Play()
    end
end)
frame:WaitForChild("Stop").MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    sound:Stop()
end)

Why will this not work? P.S. it is a Local script. And this is for a StarterGUI

When a LocalScript runs immediately, the Character will likely not exist -- it takes time to load Characters (this is not the case in Test Solo, where scripts actually start a little late)

Thus you want to get the local player's Character something like this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
-- the Character if it exists, or I'll wait:
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()

local Torso = character:WaitForChild("Torso")

GOT ANOTHER ISSUE, now it will only play one time. After the player dies it stops working. TechMetal 10 — 8y
