When I press B, only I hear the sound, no one else. How do I make it work in an fe game?

Asked 163 views1 answers
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.B then
	print ("Playing "..charactervalue.." sound")
			waiting = true
			if character:FindFirstChild("Head"):FindFirstChild("Boo Sound") == nil then
				local GhostNoobSound = Instance.new("Sound",character.Head)
				GhostNoobSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://533427376"
				GhostNoobSound.Name = "Boo Sound"
				GhostNoobSound.Volume = 0.8
				GhostNoobSound.MaxDistance = 100
				GhostNoobSound:Play()
			else
				character.Head["Boo Sound"]:Play()
			end
			wait(1)
			waiting = false
end

It plays the sound for me, but other people can't hear it. I tried making an event on a server script, but I don't know how to get the player that pressed B. This script is a local script. Also, this isn't the full script, it's just the sound making part, so charactervalue and other stuff do exist.

Use RemoteEvents and use FireServer() to send it to the Server. The OnServerEvent event will automatically have the client/player that sent the call as a parameter and any other parameters you provided with FireServer(). Once you play the sound on the server, it should play for all players.

But how do I make the sound play from the server script? How do I access the correct player's head's sound?

I put the server script into startecharacter, then found the player by saying script.Parent. But it still only lets me hear the sound. Why?

Ok, I have given up. I made it work, but it only worked for the first time. So when I pressed B, other people could hear it, but when I pressed it again, only I could hear it, even if I respawned. This makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever.

Create a RemoteEvent, and place it inside ReplicatedStorage (both client and server has access to replicatedstorage)

Rename the RemoteEvent, lets call it CreateSound.

Local Script:

local CreateSound = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('CreateSound') -- get the remote
local Character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

--Create the sound and edit it's properties
function BooSound()
	--Fire the remote and send the Sound to the server

	if not Character.Head:FindFirstChild('Boo Sound') then -- create boo sound if nil
		CreateSound:FireServer('Boo Sound', 'rbxassetid://533427376', 0.8, 100) -- send the name of the sound, soundid, volume and maxdistance

	elseif Character.Head:FindFirstChild('Boo Sound') then 
		Character.Head:FindFirstChild('Boo Sound'):Play() -- plays 'Boo Sound' if not nil
	end
end

Server Script:

local CreateSound = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('CreateSound') -- get the remote

CreateSound.OnServerEvent:connect(function(player, name, id, volume, maxdistance) -- the first parameter is always the player who fired the remote to the server

local Sound = Instance.new('Sound', player.Character.Head)
Sound.Volume = volume
Sound.MaxDistance = maxdistance
Sound.Name = name
Sound.SoundId = id

Sound:Play()
print(player.Name .. " played " .. Sound.Name)
end)

I suggest you put the ServerScript in ServerScriptService and name it 'serverReciever' or whatever you want

Where are you calling the BooSound function?

It says attempt to index local 'sound' (a nil value). It can't find 'sound' in the server script on line 4.

Edited it. Just switched the scripts so that the server script creates the sound
