Why is this LoadingScreen GUI not doing what I want?
I was hoping on play a song while my loading screen is playing however it doesn't want to play music and I am stumped I was hoping that you guy could help me. (PS I plan on adding more things to the screen but I need to get the sound in) If it helps, I was hoping to have the loading screen displayed as long as the Song plays. Here is the script-
local PlayerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
PlayerGui:SetTopbarTransparency(0)
local screen = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screen.Parent = PlayerGui
local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Parent = screen
textLabel.Text = "Welcome to the City of bloxbury"
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
textLabel.FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size14
textLabel.Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansLight
local sound = Instance.new.sound(334321597)
timelength = (60)
game.ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()
local count = 0
local start = tick (1)
while tick(60)- start < 6 do
textLabel.Text = "Almost done" .. string.rep(".",count)
wait(.3)
end

Starting at line 14, you tried loading a Sound as local sound = Instance.new.sound(334321597). That is not how you use Instance.new. Instance.new(classname, Parent) creates a new object with classname (as a string, so in your case it would be "Sound") under Parent (since you want it to only play for the player, it would be under PlayerGui.
It looks like you also tried to load the sound as 334321597. This isn't the right way of loading an asset. In your case, you would prepend it with http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=, so your final string would be "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=334321597".
Lastly, to play a sound, you should actually call the :Play() method on it.
You should replace line 14 with the following:
local sound = Instance.new("Sound", PlayerGui)
sound.SoundId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=334321597"
sound:Play()
