How to access the a player's audio in gui on a touched event?

Asked 320 views1 answers

So what I'm trying to do is have it to where the player touches a part, and audio will play inside of the player's gui. It all works find, but once started in player it says that line 9 is a nil value. Anyone know how to fix this?

local buttonPressed = false

function onTouch(hit)
	if not buttonPressed then
 	buttonPressed = true
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local user = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if user then
			local startui = user:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui")
      if startui then
				startui.StartRace:Play()
      end
	end
end

	buttonPressed = false

	end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

You need to do this from the client. Put a LocalScript in StarterGui, put the StartRace Sound object in the LocalScript.

Get the character object from the LocalPlayer, and check if the object that touched the part is a descendant of it. This will tell you if the character touched it.

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer --The Player
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() --Character
local audio = script:WaitForChild("StartRace") --Audio
local buttonPressed = false

function onTouch(hit)
	if not buttonPressed then
		buttonPressed = true
		if hit:IsDescendantOf(char) then --If character touched
			audio:Play() --Play audio
		end
		buttonPressed = false;
	end
end

--Below is object to touch.
