Detecting Humanoid and Making a sound doesn't work?
Hello, I'm just wondering why this script won't work (A local script inside starterGui) there is no ouput by the way.
Please support me with any solutions, thanks.
01 | local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local Char = Plr.Character |
03 | if not Char or not Char.Parent then |
04 | Char = Plr.CharacterAdded:wait() |
05 | end |
06 |
07 | function PlaySound() |
08 | local Sounds = {"1470936712", "1470937053", "1470937969"} |
09 | wait() |
10 | if Char.Humanoid.Health < 100 then |
11 | local Sound = Instance.new('Sound') |
12 | Sound.SoundId = math.random[#Sounds] |
13 | Sound.Parent = Char:WaitForChild('Head') |
14 | Sound:Play() |
15 | wait(Sound.TimeLength) |

So, I put your script into an empty baseplate and started making my character take damage. Unlike what you said, it did output an error about line 12:
1 | 19:19:33.619 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.LocalScript:12: attempt to index field 'random' (a function value) |
The reason for the problem that you are stumbling upon is the fact that you are using square brackets instead of round brackets for math.random. Remember that math.random is a function and not a table. Round brackets () are used to contain parameters for functions or in mathematical equations, and square brackets [] are used to identify an item in a table.
To fix line 12, simply replace the square brackets with round brackets, like so:
1 | Sound.SoundId = math.random(#Sounds) |
You put
Sound.SoundId = math.random[#Sounds]this makes no sense if you're trying to get the sound id from the table.Try using print functions to see where your error is.
also I suggest using a while true do if you want your sound to repeat every time the player's health goes down or something.
Trying adding a random seed Use this...
01 | local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local Char = Plr.Character |
03 | if not Char or not Char.Parent then |
04 | Char = Plr.CharacterAdded:wait() |
05 | end |
06 | math.randomseed(tick()) -- this is random seed |
07 |
08 | function PlaySound() |
09 | local Sounds = {"1470936712", "1470937053", "1470937969"} |
10 | wait() |
11 | if Char.Humanoid.Health < 100 then |
12 | local Sound = Instance.new('Sound') |
13 | Sound.SoundId = math.random[#Sounds] |
14 | Sound.Parent = Char:WaitForChild('Head') |
15 | Sound:Play() |
