Player sounds are not found?

Asked by

5 years ago

So I have a StarterCharacterScript, it changes the default footstep sounds which is located in a player’s character Head, it should be workspace[character].Head.Running

However, I found this unstable and glitchy, sometimes the script can find the soundtrack inside the head, but sometimes it doesn’t. All the sounds (Running, Climbing, Death) are gone, when you reset your character, there’s no “oof”, when you climb, there’s no climbing sounds etc. I tried to use WaitForChild, or even repeat wait() until character, however when I try to debug with the developer console with the command

print (workspace.Headstackk.Head.Running.Volume)

It resulted an error, I’m wondering what caused this bug, and I don’t think other scripts in my game affected it.

This only happen in game, it doesn’t happen in Roblox Studio, even though there’s accurate singleplay.

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.

This was mine a while back when I was testing sounds out so this may not work, Also put it in StarterCharecterScripts

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local SOUND_EVENT_FOLDER_NAME = "DefaultSoundEvents"
local DEFAULT_SERVER_SOUND_EVENT_NAME = "DefaultServerSoundEvent"

local SoundEventFolder = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(SOUND_EVENT_FOLDER_NAME)
local DefaultServerSoundEvent = nil

local useSoundDispatcher = UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserUseSoundDispatcher")
if useSoundDispatcher then
    if not SoundEventFolder then
        SoundEventFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
        SoundEventFolder.Name = SOUND_EVENT_FOLDER_NAME
        SoundEventFolder.Archivable = false
        SoundEventFolder.Parent = ReplicatedStorage
    end

    DefaultServerSoundEvent = SoundEventFolder:FindFirstChild(DEFAULT_SERVER_SOUND_EVENT_NAME)
else
    DefaultServerSoundEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild(DEFAULT_SERVER_SOUND_EVENT_NAME)
end

if not DefaultServerSoundEvent then
    if useSoundDispatcher then
        DefaultServerSoundEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", SoundEventFolder)
    else
        DefaultServerSoundEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", ReplicatedStorage)
    end

    DefaultServerSoundEvent.Name = DEFAULT_SERVER_SOUND_EVENT_NAME
    DefaultServerSoundEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function() end)
end

local function CreateNewSound(name, id, looped, pitch, parent)
    local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
    sound.SoundId = id
    sound.Name = name
    sound.archivable = false
    sound.Pitch = pitch
    sound.Looped = looped
    sound.MinDistance = 5
    sound.MaxDistance = 150
    sound.Volume = 0.65
    sound.Parent = parent

    if DefaultServerSoundEvent then
        local CharacterSoundEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", sound)
        CharacterSoundEvent.Name = "CharacterSoundEvent"
        CharacterSoundEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, playing, resetPosition)
            if type(playing) ~= "boolean" then
                return
            end
            if type(resetPosition) ~= "boolean" then
                return
            end

            if player.Character ~= script.Parent then
                return
            end
            for _, p in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
                if p ~= player then

                    if useSoundDispatcher then
                        SoundEventFolder:FindFirstChild("SoundDispatcher"):Fire(p, sound, playing, resetPosition)
                    else
                        DefaultServerSoundEvent:FireClient(p, sound, playing, resetPosition)
                    end
                end
            end
        end)
    end
    return sound
end

local head = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Head")
if not head then
    error("Head")
    return
end

CreateNewSound("GettingUp", "rbxasset://sounds/action_get_up.mp3", false, 1, head)
CreateNewSound("Died", "rbxasset://sounds/uuhhh.mp3", false, 1, head) 
CreateNewSound("FreeFalling", "rbxasset://sounds/action_falling.mp3", true, 1, head)
CreateNewSound("Jumping", "rbxasset://sounds/action_jump.mp3", false, 1, head)
CreateNewSound("Landing", "rbxasset://sounds/action_jump_land.mp3", false, 1, head)
CreateNewSound("Splash", "rbxasset://sounds/impact_water.mp3", false, 1, head)
CreateNewSound("Running", "rbxasset://sounds/action_footsteps_plastic.mp3", true, 1.85, head)
CreateNewSound("Swimming", "rbxasset://sounds/action_swim.mp3", true, 1.6, head)
CreateNewSound("Climbing", "rbxasset://sounds/action_footsteps_plastic.mp3", true, 1, head)

Please give an explanation and not just a script you wrote in the past. User#25115 0 — 5y
