How do you block duplicates from being created using Instance.new ?
I made it so, when you touch a part, a sound plays and loops until another part is touched, but don't worry about the other part, the problem is at the music playing part.
I wrote a successful script that works but it plays in a kind of "round" where it overlaps. Let me try and explain: You hear the first note of the song and then half a second later you hear it again. The song plays about 20 or so times when you walk over the block.
Can anyone make it so that all other duplicates are destroyed or maybe an alternative to help?
Here is the script:
local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h then
wait(1)
local part2 = Instance.new("Part")
part2.Name = "MusicPlayerOne"
part2.Parent = game.Workspace
part2.Transparency = 1
part2.CanCollide = false
part2.Anchored = true
part2.Position = Vector3.new(-51.3, 15.5, -19.1)
wait(1)
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.Parent = part2
sound.Looped = true
sound.Playing = true
sound.Volume = 1
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://178276804"
wait(1)
end
end)

The touched event often triggers multiple times because of the physics. To counter this, use debounce.. Basically, use an if statement to check whether or not a variable is true. If it is not true, make it true, then run code. This stops it from triggering again. Wait a set amount of time, and set the variable to false again, if you want it to run again.
EDIT: Debounce stops a script from running more than once.
EDIT 2:
local var = false
local part = script.Parent
part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if var ~= true then
local h = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if h then
wait(1)
local part2 = Instance.new("Part")
part2.Name = "MusicPlayerOne"
part2.Parent = game.Workspace
part2.Transparency = 1
part2.CanCollide = false
part2.Anchored = true
part2.Position = Vector3.new(-51.3, 15.5, -19.1)
wait(1)
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.Parent = part2
sound.Looped = true
sound.Playing = true
sound.Volume = 1
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://178276804"
wait(1)
end
end
end)
local var = false
part.Touched:connect(function()
if var ~= true then
var = true
-- code
-- wait(3) } The two lines for re-usability. you can change the wait to suit your game.
-- var = false}
end
end
