Music Intro to server help

[joe c-j]

Hi I'm a noob Lua scripter so was wondering if anyone would help me. What i would like on my server is to have it play a music file whenever someone new joins. If someone could post a lua script and location to put it so my server would do that i would be most grateful. And if there is another way to do that could you post that as well. Thanks in anticipation.

Not tested, but should work. Save as something.lua, and place it in your <server>/garrysmod/lua/autorun directory.

Code: [Select]

OnJoinSound = "music/hl2_song20_submix0.mp3" // Sound file relative to the sound directory
function PlaySoundOnJoin(ply)
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:SendLua("surface.PlaySound(\"OnJoinSound\"");
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "PlaySoundOnJoinHook", PlaySoundOnJoin)
Enjoy!

"whenever someone new joins". What do you mean by that?

[jay209015]

Yeah I thought about that too when writing this scripts.
By "new" do you mean:
     -First time a specifc player has joined the server ever?
     -Or just whenever a player joins the server regardless if they've been there before?

Also, did he mean it to play to all players, or just the one joining?
If I'm joining a server and have to hear music playing, annoying, but, once when joining ok.
Everytime any other player joins? Yuck.

sorry for not being specific enough and thanks for your help so far...to answer your questions i was hoping that it would play just to the user joining the server and only the first time they join the server
where i can insert my own mp3 file my changing the name and file location could you highlight that on the script please
thank you

The clients connecting to you would have to already have the MP3 in their sound directory, so, if you change it to some custom MP3, and aren't 100% sure they'll download the file, they won't hear the music anyway.

As for the first-time-only deal...maybe handle that by UniqueID?
