Setting a Sound's TimePosition with FilteringEnabled?

Asked 378 views1 answers

Hi all,

I'm not entirely sure if there is a solution to this problem, as I've exhausted everything I could think of.

So I have a sound, within a part and I want to change the TimePosition property. From the wiki, I gather that only clients can alter this property. http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Sound

But when attempting to change this property from a LocalScript within a GUI, I get this error:

Sound.TimePosition was set from local script while either in Workspace or SoundService. Only use a server script to set TimePosition when a sound is in these locations.

So.. I did exactly that and tried it on a server script, but again.. No change in position for any of the clients.

I'm not sure where to turn now so I need you guys' help.

Thanks :)

If the sound is located somewhere in workspace or soundservice then you cant modify it because filtering enabled doesnt allow local scripts to modify any instance in workspace. Because your making a sound for a gui why do you need to put it in workspace? You can easily put it in startergui/starterpack and modify any property. If you really need it in the workspace then I suggest using a remoteevent to pass arguments when the sound is paused or is stopped or reaches a specific time then put the timeposition in the argument and use it to change the property in the server script.

I don't think you understand, the sound needs to be in a part within Workspace. Additionally, I do know how RemoteEvents work.. that's not the issue. As far as your solution goes regarding editing the property using a server script, if you actually bothered to read the wiki, you would see that server scripts are not able to read and manipulate sound properties such as TimeLength and TimePosition
