Automatically sets the Bool to false?

Asked by

When the music plays it should set the bool to true, then wait(song.TimeLength) to change back to false, but it doesn't?

When the song is played the bool just stays false..?

--[[SONG SCRIPT]]--

local song = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Song
local value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.CurrentlyPlaying
local value2 = script.Parent.Parent.Playing
local id = script.Parent.ID.Value
local timev = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.BAR.Time

function clicked(player, name)
    if value.Value == false then
    value.Value = true
    value2.Value = script.Parent.Text
    song.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..(id)
    song:Play()
    wait(song.TimeLength)
    song:Stop()
    value.Value = false
    end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(clicked)

TimeLength doesn't work on the server
Consider moving to a LocalScript, or using the Ended event instead.

Why? The server doesn't actually load the sound, and doesn't even play it. It simply tells the clients to play it, and they load the sound themselves. In fact, the server doesn't even know that the clients are all playing the same sound. As a result, it simply has no way of determining how long the sound is.

I figured it out, this works perfectly.


local SoundInstance = game.Workspace.VritixConsole.MainWall.SurfaceGui.Song
local id = script.Parent.ID.Value
local value = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.CurrentlyPlaying
x =1

function run()
    SoundInstance.SoundId="rbxassetid://"..id
    wait(1) 
    song=SoundInstance
    song:Play()
    for i=1,10 do
        song.Volume = song.Volume + 0.1
        wait(0.1)
    end
    wait(song.TimeLength)
    for i=1,10 do
        song.Volume = song.Volume - 0.1
        wait(0.1)
    end
    song:Stop() 
    value.Value = false
    wait(1) 
end


function click()
    if value.Value == false then
    value.Value = true
    run()
    else
    if value.Value == true then
    print "Another song is already playing!"
    end
    end
    end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(click)

I stand corrected. Does this mean that TimeLength is no longer broken? User#6546 35 — 8y

I believe that in some forms that it can break like my first script, but it can work if you script it right. UnleashedGamers 257 — 8y
