How do I make a GUI button that when pressed plays a sound?
I'm trying to make a GUI that plays some dramatic music when pressed, and when pressed again it disables.
01 | enabled = false |
02 | b = script.Parent |
03 |
04 | b.MouseButton1down:connect(function() |
05 | if enabled then |
06 | game.SoundService.Dramatic:Play() |
07 | enabled = false |
08 | else |
09 | game.SoundService.Dramatic:Stop() |
10 | enabled = true |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
Thanks if you can help, I'm also a bit of a noob so please go easy!

it's MouseButton1Down, not MouseButton1down because lua is case sensitive. make sure that this is a localscript inside a button too brokenVectors 525 — 7y

No need for variables.
01 | local button = script.Parent |
02 |
03 | function SET_SOUND() |
04 | local sound = game.SoundService.Dramatic |
05 | if (not sound.Playing) then |
06 | sound:Play() |
07 |
08 | elseif (sound.Playing) then |
09 | sound:Stop() |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | button.MouseButton1Down:connect(SET_SOUND) |

I would use a variable named musicIsPlaying instead of enable because that might help think about the problem better. Then in the script I would have a function that works like yours but a little bit different. Here is an example:
01 | local musicIsPlaying = false |
02 | b = script.Parent |
03 |
04 | b.MouseButton1down:Connect(function() |
05 |
06 | if not musicIsPlaying then -- [[this is where you probably had a problem. You were going to stop the music first instead of play because the first value of your enable variable was false and it wouldn't have made it past this if statement.]]-- |
07 |
08 | game.SoundService.Dramatic:Play() |
09 | musicIsPlaying = true |
10 |
11 | else |
12 |
13 | game.SoundService.Dramatic:Stop() |
14 | musicIsPlaying = false |
15 |
16 | end |
17 | end) |
I always recommend using variable and function names that make sense and help you understand what you are dealing with. Hope this helps you. Have a great day scripting.

This may help.
01 | While true() do |
02 | local b = script.Parent |
03 | b.enabled = false |
04 |
05 | b.MouseButton1down:Connect(function() |
06 | if b.enabled = true then |
07 | game.SoundService.Dramatic:Play() |
08 | b.enabled = false |
09 | else |
10 | game.SoundService.Dramatic:Stop() |
11 | b.enabled = true |
12 | end |
13 | end) |
I'm a noob so IDK if you should use while true() do. :)
