How do I make a randomly picking audio script?
I'm trying to make an audio playlist that picks a random song and plays it and I thought I had it down but it does absolutely nothing, no errors, nothing.
local audioFolder = game.Workspace.Audios:GetChildren()
function selectSong()
wait(.2)
local pickedSong = math.random(1,#audioFolder)
local namePick = tostring(pickedSong)
namePick:Play()
wait(320)
namePick:Pause()
end
while true do
wait(.2)
if audioFolder ~= nil then
selectSong()
wait(2)
else
print("Audio folder does not exist")
end
end
Please help, thanks!

You forgot to wrap the table "audioFolder" with these little brackets, "[]". Also, adding a tostring is unnecessary since you want the audio itself, so use these lines instead
local pickedSong = audioFolder[math.random(#audioFolder)] local namePick = pickedSong

Instead of the sound objects themselves, you could do this.
local soundIds = {28727449, 2928484, 19395, 29284, 38272} -- random numbers
-- put the proper id's in the table
local soundId = soundIds[math.random(1, #soundIds)]
local sound = Instance.new("Sound",game.Workspace)
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://"..soundId

pickedSong in your script will only be a number not a song. So you need to access the actual song like so:
local song = audioFolder[pickedSong] -- remember picked song is a number -- this is just an example
then you should be good to go.
