How do I make this model make a sound upon touched?

Asked 446 views2 answers

I am making diamonds to collect on my map! They regen and give points perfectly, but they do not make a sound when collected. When I try to put in a sound, the script breaks! I also noticed other scripts will have the sound looping so if they stay in the spot where it regenerates, it plays the sound constantly.

I would like it to play the sound only when the item is not transparent. That, or only allow the sound to function every 7 seconds (the time it regens) whatever is easier :)

Here is my script without trying to add in any sounds -

(Please let me know what and where I need to put it! Thank you so much I appreciate it a ton!)

waittime = 7 -- Time Between each hit
amnt = 10 --how much you get for it
function onTouched(part)
	local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if (h~=nil) then
		local thisplr = game.Players:findFirstChild(h.Parent.Name)
		if (thisplr~=nil) then
			local stats = thisplr:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
			if (stats~=nil) then
				local score = stats:findFirstChild("Money")
				if (score~=nil) then
					score.Value = score.Value + amnt

				end
			end
		end
		
		script.Parent.Transparency = 1
		script.Disabled = true
		wait(waittime)
		script.Parent.Transparency = 0
		script.Disabled = false		


	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

What you need

You need to reference your sound object, then simply use the Play function when the Touched event fires.

Notes

  • Establish a debounce to prevent repeating sounds.

  • Set the 'Looped' property of the sound object to false if you still find your sound repeating.

  • The GetPlayerFromCharacter function can be used here to retrieve the player easily

Code

local sound = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Sound") --This is your sound
local waittime = 7 -- Time Between each hit
local amnt = 10 --how much you get for it
local db = false --the debounce

function onTouched(part)
	if not db then
		db = true --Turn on debounce
		local thisplr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
		if thisplr then
			local stats = thisplr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
			if stats then
				local score = stats:FindFirstChild("Money")
				if score then
					score.Value = score.Value + amnt
					sound:Play(); --Play the sound
				end
			end
		end
		script.Parent.Transparency = 1
		wait(waittime)
		script.Parent.Transparency = 0 
		db = false --Turn off debounce
	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
