Random playSound

[berry172]

Hello! How to create random playsound connect script?

[myonlake]

This should work unless I made some kind of weird mistake.

Remember to add the sound files in your meta.xml file and make sure the path is correct with the table's paths.

Client-side

local sounds = {"sounds/1.wav", "sounds/2.wav"} 
  
addEvent("onPlayerTrueJoin", true) 
addEventHandler("onPlayerTrueJoin", root, 
    function() 
         playSound(sounds[math.random(1, #sounds)], false) 
    end 
) 

Server-side

addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, 
     function() 
          triggerClientEvent(source, "onPlayerTrueJoin", source) 
     end 
)

Yes you made 2 weird mistakes.

1. You forgot to read the first sentence of wiki in onClientPlayerJoin:

This event is triggered when a player joins a server. It is triggered for all players except the local player, as the local player joins the server before their client-side resources are started. It would also be possible for two players to join within a few seconds of each other and for the two players' scripts may not receive onClientPlayerJoin events as their scripts wouldn't have started yet.

2.

playSound(math.random(1, #sounds), false) 

should be

playSound(sounds[math.random(1, #sounds)], false)

Correct there, I'll update my code.

Correct there, I'll update my code.

Use onClientResourceStart. Because it will say Event not added clientside if you're using onPlayerJoin event to trigger something (If the files aren't downloaded)

local sounds = {"sounds/1.wav", "sounds/2.wav"} 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
         playSound(sounds[math.random(1, #sounds)], false) 
    end 
)

Instead of the file path, you set the URL.
