Hi! I'm just now dabbling in ROBLOX programming (with no prior coding knowledge) so my code will be very crude, so bear with me.

I'm creating a surface GUI that has a large image button in the middle, and two image buttons on either side to cycle the middle image. I don't know the best way to do this, so so far I have a script in the left and right buttons that increases or decreases a _G variable by one every time you click. It looks like this:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()

_G.song = _G.song + 1

end)

Then I have another script in the big central image button that is supposed to detect if the _G variable equals either 1 or 2, and plays a different song on click depending on the value of the variable. The code looks like this:

mus1=workspace.juke.buttons.music1
mus2=workspace.juke.buttons.music2

while true do

if _G.song == 1 then
    script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(one)
    mus1:Play()
    end)
elseif _G.song == 2 then
    script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(two)
    mus2:Play()
    end)
end
wait(.25)
end

When I click the big central button however, it plays both songs, not one or the other. Why is it playing both?

math.random is actually "random" though User#23365 30 — 5y

local jukeBox = workspace.juke.buttons
local mus1 = jukeBox.music1
local mus2 = jukeBox.music2


-- Make a sound in each button and put the song id inside them

local sound1 = mus1:WaitForChild("Sound") 
local sound2 = mus2:WaitForChild("Sound")

mus1.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if sound2.Playing then
        sound2:Stop()
    end
    sound1:Play()
end)

mus2.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    if sound1.Playing then
        sound1:Stop() -- Make sure there is a sound there
    end
    sound2:Play()
end)

Thank you! I had to do a little modifying but it worked! I have one more concern, though. Say I had 10 songs, not 2. Is there a way to stop ALL music from playing, because adding a stop function for each one is impractical. rkpkid1997 2 — 5y

Could use a for loop for all the songs in the model and if they are not named the song that is chosen then you could stop it YouSNICKER 131 — 5y
