Why won't my sound play? Models and onTouched

Asked 166 views1 answers

The hierarchy goes

-Model
	-Sound
		-This Script
	-Part
	-Part
	-Part
	-more parts

The script should make the sound play when you touch any of the parts in the model.

function onTouched(Part)
	if Part.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		script.Parent.TimePosition = 0
		script.Parent.Playing = true
	end
end

for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA('Part') then
		v.Touched:connect(onTouched)
	end
end

local model  = script.Parent.Parent
local sound = script.Parent

local function onTouched(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		sound.TimePosition = 0
		sound.Playing = true
	end
end

for i, v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA('Part') then
        v.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
    end
end

Two things to fix:

  1. You defined "Part" in the onTouched event as the "Model", however, the "Part" is actually the part which touches one of the model's parts
  2. connect is deprecated, although it sometimes works, use Connect (capitalized)
