I want to play the music URL from the gridlist item, but when I click on the button it does not work

local music = guiGridListGetItemText ( gridlist1, guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( gridlist1 ), column1 ) 
  
function playTheSound ( ) 
    sound = playSound (music) 
    setSoundVolume (sound, 1.0) 
    outputChatBox ( " Started Playing " ..music ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", button2, playTheSound, false ) 
  
function stopTheSound ( ) 
    stopSound(sound) 
    outputChatBox ( music.. "Stoped" ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", button3, stopTheSound, false )

try this:

 local sound = nil --define the var global 
function playTheSound ( ) 
    local music = guiGridListGetItemText ( gridlist1, guiGridListGetSelectedItem ( gridlist1 ), column1 ) --column1 isn't defined 
    sound = playSound (music) 
    setSoundVolume (sound, 1.0) 
    outputChatBox ( " Started Playing " ..music ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", button2, playTheSound, false ) 
  
function stopTheSound ( ) 
    stopSound(sound) 
    outputChatBox ( music.. "Stopped" ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", button3, stopTheSound, false ) 

and if this doesn't work, then I would need to see the full script

Ugh... you need to put the guiGridListGetItem function in the "playTheSound" function you have. Otherwise it would load the gridlist select before you have clicked anything and should already show up an error in /debugscript 3. So just put it in there and maybe it should work, as far as I can see.

myonlake solution worked, thanks for your help both

You're welcome.

I want help in something else, how to check if the sound is over?

I mean, I am going to make a checkbox for "Enabling Replay" when the song is over.

so it would be like that

function replay() 
    if ( --the song is over) then 
        if ( guiCheckBoxGetSelected(checkbox1) ) then 
            startSound( sound ) 
        end 
    end 
end

this is an example ((not sure if works)) :

if ( not sound ) then 
local sound = playSound(music) 
end

Nope. Use isElement function.

isElement

Thank you all

[myonlake]

You're welcome again.

I couldn't find out how to use the ifElement correctly with audios

[Castillo]

You do it like with any other element.

isElement ( sound ) 

[myonlake]

Make sure the sound isn't a local variable, it has to be a global.

So instead of..

local sound = ... 

.. do..

sound = ...

Are you sure the gridlist text is the file path?
