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.
01 | local audioFolder = game.Workspace.Audios:GetChildren() |
02 |
03 | function selectSong() |
04 | wait(.2) |
05 | local pickedSong = math.random(1,#audioFolder) |
06 | local namePick = tostring(pickedSong) |
07 | namePick:Play() |
08 | wait(320) |
09 | namePick:Pause() |
10 | end |
11 | while true do |
12 | wait(.2) |
13 | if audioFolder ~= nil then |
14 | selectSong() |
15 | wait(2) |
16 | else |
17 | print("Audio folder does not exist") |
18 | end |
19 | 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
1 | local pickedSong = audioFolder[math.random(#audioFolder)] |
2 | local namePick = pickedSong |

Instead of the sound objects themselves, you could do this.
1 | local soundIds = {28727449, 2928484, 19395, 29284, 38272} -- random numbers |
2 | -- put the proper id's in the table |
3 |
4 | local soundId = soundIds[math.random(1, #soundIds)] |
5 |
6 | local sound = Instance.new("Sound",game.Workspace) |
7 |
8 | 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:
1 | local song = audioFolder[pickedSong] -- remember picked song is a number |
2 | -- this is just an example |
then you should be good to go.
