Can You Make A Sound Local Using a Global Script?
Is it possible to have a sound play for only the local player through use of a global script? I tried parenting a sound to the player's PlayerGui and then playing it, but that didn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Or do I have to use a LocalScript? Thanks in advance for anyone who helps out.

you could change that around just throw the sound and gui into StarterGui and the event into Replicated Storage of course Donut792 216 — 5y

I would probably use Remote Events. Here's what a localscript (inside of startergui) might look like:
1 | local r = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
2 | r.playSound.OnClientEvent:connect(function(songName) |
3 | workspace[songName]:Play() |
4 | end) |
And then in a regular script inside of ServerScriptService:
1 | local player = [insert player to hear the sound] |
2 | local soundId = [sound name inside of workspace] |
3 | local r = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") |
4 | r.playSound:FireClient(plr,soundId) |
So yes, you do have to use localscripts, but you can integrate them with regular scripts. Hope this helps!
EDIT: As said in the comments by RSASDSA, "SoundService.RespectFilteringEnabled must be on for this to work properly."
So in the regular script, you should add:
1 | game:GetService("SoundService").RespectFilteringEnabled = true |
