Audio continuation through two scenes
Hey, I have two menu scenes, one called "Menu" and another called "instructionsMenu". Just wondering if there is any way to carry on playing an audio source throughout both of these scenes without it cutting out? I've read this: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/11314/audio-or-music-to-continue-playing-between-scene-c.html
However, i'm looking to learn more about JavaScript so id like to carry on using the same language throughout my game (that and i can't read C# as well)
Thanks in advance!
Use this link ins$$anonymous$$d: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/11314/ as currently pasted it leads to a "Page Not Found" because the link doesn't include the last "l" of .html
The solution in that page was not exactly C# specific, all he really said was to use:
DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
to keep the sound playing through from the first scene. Then he employed a strategy of making sure that there is only ever one in every scene, you can do something like this, or simply deciding to only ever create one.
http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html
EDIT: actually if I am not mistaken he even has a javascript example directly below his C# example, and he does have a very nice and in depth answer

just gonna link to his
Ah, i thought that DontDestroyOnLoad was C# specific. I'm still relatively new to program$$anonymous$$g And you are right! Clearly i didn't read the answer properly, i just saw the first one and assumed it was all C#. I'll look into it a bit more, thanks for letting me know
I managed to get the sound to carry on playing through both scenes, but when i click on the "back" button to return to the "$$anonymous$$enu" scene, it created another instance of the music object. I think they describe how to fix this in the link, but i don't understand it very well. Any help? I currently have:
var button1 : Texture;
var button2 : Texture;
var skin : GUISkin;
var music : GameObject;
var musicOn = false;
function OnGUI () {
GUI.skin=skin;
Screen.showCursor = true;
Screen.lockCursor = false;
if(GUI.Button (Rect(1000, 384, 200, 100), button1))
{
Application.LoadLevel("GTAR1");
}
if(GUI.Button (Rect(1000, 500, 200, 100), button2))
{
Application.LoadLevel("instructions$$anonymous$$enu");
DontDestroyOnLoad(music);
}
}
If anyone where to come here looking for a simple way of solving this, I created this and it works perfectly for me!
static bool AudioBegin = false;
GameObject otherSound;
void Awake()
{
otherSound = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Game Music");
if (otherSound == this.gameObject)
{
if (!AudioBegin)
{
DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
AudioBegin = true;
}
}
else
{
Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
}
Add this code to a GameObject that has an AudioSource with an attached music file, and give it the tag "Game Music".
Cheers!
I can't seem to get this code working for me. The music stops playing when I progress to the next level. Any suggestions
$$anonymous$$rErk your code just solved my problems, it was very easy to implement, thanks man!!
hi all... I'm having a similar problem... the GameObject i have attached the Audio Source to isn't being destroyed but it makes no sound when the new scene loads... check sound settings, position, 3d sound, volume etc... is there anything else that needs to be done in the script to a game object with audio apart from not destroying it for this to work? Please and thank you @TheCodeMonkey @MrErk
