Adding audio to gun shot
I'm working on my first gun script and I was wondering how I would go about adding sound? I have added an Audio Source to the gun and imported my sound. Then do I add a public AudioClip with the files name? How would I get the sound to trigger when firing?
Thanks!
using UnityEngine;
public class Gun : MonoBehaviour
{
public float damage = 10f; //Damage
public float range = 500f; //Range of bullet
public float fireRate = .50f; //Greater fire rate = less time between shots.
public float impactForce = 30f; //Impact (force)
public ParticleSystem Rail; //Particle System (Muzzle)
public Camera fpsCam; //Camera. Click and drag off of hierarchy
public GameObject impactEffect; //Prefab system for impact
private float nextTimeToFire = 0f; //Instant shot (no lag when pressing down)
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && Time.time >= nextTimeToFire)
{
nextTimeToFire = Time.time + 1f / fireRate;
Shoot();
}
}
void Shoot()
{
Rail.Play(); //Play muzzle / barrel
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(fpsCam.transform.position, fpsCam.transform.forward, out hit, range))
{
Target target = hit.transform.GetComponent<Target>();
if (target != null)
{
target.TakeDamage(damage);
}
if (hit.rigidbody != null) //Hit RIGIDBODY component
{
hit.rigidbody.AddForce(-hit.normal * impactForce);
}
GameObject impactGO = Instantiate(impactEffect, hit.point, Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal));
Destroy(impactGO, .25f); // Destroy impact effect
{
}
}
}
}

Youll need to get a reference to your audio source in your source function. And then when you fire your gun play a sound. Heres an example of how i would do it.
AudioClip[] m_GunShotSounds; //So the shots don't sound the same every time
private AudioSource m_AudioSource; //The thing to play the audio
private void Start()
{
m_AudioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
if (m_AudioSource == null)
{
Debug.LogError("No AudioSource found");
}
}
void PlayShootingSound()
{
//Get an audioClip
int n = Random.Range(1, m_GunShotSounds.Length);
m_AudioSource.clip = m_GunShotSounds[n];
//If you need to change the volume
m_AudioSource.volume = volume;
//Play the sound once
m_AudioSource.PlayOneShot(m_AudioSource.clip);
// move picked sound to index 0 so it's not picked next time
FootstepSounds[n] = FootstepSounds[0];
FootstepSounds[0] = m_AudioSource.clip;
}
void Shoot() {
Rail.Play(); //Play muzzle / barrel
PlayShootingSound(); //Play a shooting sound
//... the rest of your code
}
}
The easiest way would be to put the script on to a gameobject, and then directly select the sound file from the audiosource component.
