? Local Sound not playing
Learning as i go from my mistakes, go easy on me.
This worked in another project so i copied it to a new one, now i cannot hear the sound outside of studio(Server).
Game is Non-FE and i cannot find the difference/Error between my two projects.
01 | db = false |
02 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
03 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then |
04 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
05 | if db == false then |
06 | db = true |
07 | script.Parent.Transparency = 1 |
08 | player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value + 1 |
09 | player.Backpack:WaitForChild('Kaching') |
10 | player.Backpack.Kaching:Play() |
11 | wait(math.random(30,60)) |
12 | script.Parent.Transparency = 0 |
13 | db = false |
14 | else |
15 | end |
16 | end |
17 | end) |

Note that i also tried this by having the sound in storage and cloning/removing it to/from the backpack but had the same issue Yishles 4 — 6y

Might be an issue with the sound object. Have you tried playing the sound directly from the explorer? Or checking in your script to see if its correctly indexing the sound object? chomboghai 2044 — 6y

Sound is good. Fine in Explorer, studio and my other project (sutdio and server). Not sausage on the error front either. Yishles 4 — 6y

Hi Yish,
I think the reason it's not playing in the game is because you placed it in Backpack. If you want a Sound to be local, as in heard only by one player, then you need to place it into the CurrentCamera or the Player itself. However, keep in mind that the CurrentCamera is client-side only. So, you must use a LocalScript to access it. Therefore, you need to fire a RemoteEvent from the Server to set off the LocalScript. Then, this LocalScript will parent the Sound and play it.
Here's how the Server and LocalScript look like:
Local Script
01 | local players = game:GetService("Players"); |
02 | local player = players.LocalPlayer; |
03 | local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"); |
04 | local parent_sound_ev = rs:WaitForChild("Parent Sound"); |
05 | local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera; |
06 |
07 | function parent_it() |
08 | local sound = script:WaitForChild("Kaching"):Clone(); |
09 | local prev_sound = cam:FindFirstChildOfClass("Sound"); |
10 |
11 | if prev_sound then |
12 | prev_sound:Destroy(); |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | sound.Parent = cam; |
16 | sound:Play(); |
17 | end |
18 |
19 | parent_sound_ev.OnClientEvent:Connect(parent_it); |
Server Script
01 | db = false |
02 | local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"); |
03 | local play_sound = rs:WaitForChild("Parent Sound") |
04 |
05 | script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit) |
06 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild('Humanoid') then |
07 | local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
08 | if db == false then |
09 | db = true |
10 | script.Parent.Transparency = 1 |
11 | player.leaderstats.Coins.Value = player.leaderstats.Coins.Value + 1 |
12 | play_sound:FireClient(player); |
13 |
14 | wait(math.random()) |
15 | script.Parent.Transparency = 0 |
16 | db = false |
17 | else |
18 | end |
19 | end |
20 | end) |
I've made a place that does this, and I've allowed copying so you can take a copy and examine the whole system if you need a better handle on it. It can be found here.
Well, I hope I helped and have a wonderful day/night.
Thanks,
Best regards,

Wow, what a reply. I'm yet to learn anything on remotes, still grasping the basics haha. Seems i was trying to play the sound In the player rather than from it. Thank you so much for the effort in your answer, just reading over the place you provided will help me learn much easier. Thank you once again ! Yishles 4 — 6y
