Description

A basic juke box to play music in the editor and game in 2D.

Features

  • Volume
  • Length
  • Fade
  • Random Tracks played

Steps

  1. Drop and drag “Basic Juke Box” template on the world tree

  2. Set the volume and length as desired.

  3. Fade of 3 seems to work well, but can be changed also.

  4. Add one or more tracks to play by adding to the array.

  5. To play in the editor, simulate (check) on the locator.

BasicJukeBoxScript


local BasicJukeBoxScript = {}

BasicJukeBoxScript.Properties = {
	{ name = "volume", type = "number", min = 0, max = 2, default = 1, editor = "slider", },
	{ name = "trackLength", type = "number", default = 180, },
	{ name = "fadeInOut", type = "number", default = 3, },
	{ name = "tracks", type = "soundasset", container = "array", },
}

function BasicJukeBoxScript:ClientInit()
	self:Schedule(function()
		while true do
			local track = math.random(#self.properties.tracks)
			print("Now Playing", "track", track, self.properties.tracks[track]:GetName())
			self.jukeBox = self:GetEntity():
				PlaySound2D(self.properties.tracks[track], self.properties.fadeInOut)
			self.jukeBox:SetVolume(self.properties.volume)
			Wait(self.properties.trackLength)
			self.jukeBox:Stop(self.properties.fadeInOut)
		end
	end)
end

return BasicJukeBoxScript

Note

I just wanted a simple music player in the editor and 2D for the game. This could be expanded upon but I thought i’d share a basic working model to use as is or build upon.
