Help with my addon

[FluffedWolf]

So I am trying to make it so it plays music when someone is arrested but for some reason its not working

playerArrested(Player criminal, number time, Player actor)
 local sound = 'badboys.mp3';

resource.AddFile("sound/"..sound);
hook.Add("playerArrested", "PlaySoundForArrested", function(crim, time, arrs)
ply:SendLua('surface.PlaySound("badboys.mp3")');
end
)

[Heroezzz]

function plyMeta:arrest(time, arrester)
hook.Call("playerArrested", DarkRP.hooks, self, time, arrester)
self:SendLua('surface.PlaySound("badboys.mp3")');
 end
end

Try it

Why would you ever teach someone to use SendLua?

[FluffedWolf]

local sound = 'badboys.mp3';

resource.AddFile("sound/arrestedmusic/"..sound);
function plyMeta:arrest(time, arrester)
hook.Call("playerArrested", DarkRP.hooks, self, time, arrester)
self:SendLua('surface.PlaySound("badboys.mp3")');
 end
end
)

I have it like that and its still not working

why send a string to a client when you can call a net message

Elaborate please, I have literally no experience with lua

SendLua networks a string to the client. Since the string is constant, you can instead send a net message that simply pings the client to run that code. It's much more network efficient since you're sending no actual data.

SendLua uses usermessages. It just sends one to the player, it doesn't network it to everyone.

Sorry, meant to say "the client" not "all clients"

[FluffedWolf]

Okay I have a problem now, it works, the sound downloads, everything is fine and dandy but

Create Stream Failed error 41
Failed to load sound "sound\badboys.mp3", file probably missing from disk/repository

The file is not missing and I dont know why it does that...

Did you resource.AddFile it? If you don't have the file locally and are joining a server, the server needs to have you download it.

Or workshop collection it. (Seems a waste for one file though)

Yes I did, the server makes you download it.
