Playing music in different sound areas restarts the sound when jumping?

Asked 341 views1 answers

I was looking at alvinblox on youtube and he was explaining how to make music in different sound environments. However, I seen some flaws within the code with playing music.Whenever, I jump it re fires the code again and plays the music again. I just want the music to continue to play WITHOUT RESTARTING until we leave the brick. Thanks in advance.

I've tried:

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart') then
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound2:Stop()
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound1.Volume = 1
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound1:Play()

    end
end)

and

Debounce = true

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart') and Debounce then
    Debounce = false
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound2:Stop()
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound1.Volume = 1
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound1:Play()

    end
end)

and

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('HumanoidRootPart') and game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound1.IsPlaying == false then
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound2:Stop()
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound1.Volume = 1
        game.Players[hit.Parent.Name].PlayerGui.Sound1:Play()

    end
end)

everytime I jump it still RESTARTS the music.

I want the music to continously play in the area until I leave.

A server script can't make changes in the player's PlayerGui, only a LocalScript can.

Instead of using the Touched event, use DistanceFromCharacter .

More information here

Place this LocalScript in StarterCharacterScripts under the StarterPlayer folder.

repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:IsDescendantOf(workspace)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--// CONSTANTS
local Player = game.Players:WaitForChild(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
local PlayerGUI = Player:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')

local Character = Player.Character

--// VARIABLES
local Part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild('Part') -- place a part in the center of the region where Sound1 will play

local DetectDistance = 50 -- required distance to play Sound1 (if the Player is near the Part within a 50 stud radius, Sound1 will play)

local Distance = nil 

local Sound1 = PlayerGUI:WaitForChild('Sound1')
local Sound2 = PlayerGUI:WaitForChild('Sound2')

--// FUNCTIONS
function DETECT_PART()
	Distance = Player:DistanceFromCharacter(Part.Position)
	print(Player.Name .. " is " .. Distance .. " studs away from " .. Part.Name)
	
	if (Distance <= DetectDistance) then -- checks if Distance is equal to or less than DetectDistance (50 studs)
		if not Sound1.Playing then
			Sound2:Stop()
			Sound1:Play()
		end

	elseif (Distance > DetectDistance) then 
		if Sound1.Playing then 
			Sound1:Stop()
			Sound2:Play()
		end
	end
end

Character.Humanoid.Running:connect(DETECT_PART)

-- Use the loop below if the Running event is buggy
--while true do 
--	DETECT_PART()
--	wait()
--end
