How do I load an AudioClip from code?
I wish to load a new AudioClip at runtime. The file, let's say "sound.mp3", is stored somewhere on my computer, say "C:\Users\Me\Desktop". I realize that one can bring a file into the editor and use Resources.Load() from there. However, one cannot add in new files once it's compiled, so I would like to just do something along the lines of
AudioClip clip = new AudioClip("C:\Users\Me\Desktop\sound.mp3");
Thanks!
Hi,
A good place to start would be: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/WWW.GetAudioClip.html
Also if you want to save yourself time check this out (I have used this and it saved a lot of time):

Good luck!

Using an Audio Source as mentioned here : http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/AudioSource.html
Also, here is a Video Tutorial on playing sounds .

Also, I found some example code here:
var audioVolume = 1.0; var collisionSoundEffect : AudioClip;
function playSound(){
Debug.Log("Animation event called");
audio.volume = audioVolume;
audio.clip = collisionSoundEffect;
audio.Play();
}
Also, for loading from PC etc: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/102934-Play-a-sound-effect-with-code
PS: Thsi is not mine, and I don't claim to own the code . I found it here on the Unity forums, and it works .
I appreciate your help, but this does not solve the issue. This involves manually importing the sound file into the Unity editor, which I can't do at run time.
Here's a description of what would ideally happen. The user enters in the name of a sound file. Then, the program plays that file.
Still, thank you for the help.
