How do I print a sound name and id?

Asked by

For instance, I am trying to make an addition in my script where I play a sound id, There will be a GUI at the top of the screen where it says the name of the song, and the Id of the song.. I can't find out any ways, it's getting frustrating.

Example

CreateMessage("Now playing; " .. Asset.Name .. " - " .. Asset.Id)

Help?

Thanks...

If you use a Sound instance and name the relative sound with the respective sound asset and name you can do

local sound = //

CreateMessage("Now playing; ".. sound.Name .. " - " .. sound.SoundId

Using MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo.

GetProductInfo returns a table of the information of the asset provided. It's really easy to use;

function getInfo(id)
    local info=game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):GetProductInfo(id)
    return info
end

Now, all you have to do is call the function with the ID to get the info (like this);

player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
    local info=getInfo(msg)
    print(info.Name.."\n"..info.Description)

    --[[
        in the output;
        Doge
Very hat. Such doge.  Wow.
    ]]--

end)

JSON? This code doesn't use JSON at all.. TheDeadlyPanther 2460 — 8y

Are you using it in a LocalScript? SimplyRekt 413 — 8y

I get the same error on local and nonlocal scripts... If you don't know what I mean, I am trying to make it so it gets the exact name from roblox and prints it into the ouput. I've seen it before. BadLuke1 2 — 8y

I tried the same script and it worked. It works with any asset. SimplyRekt 413 — 8y
