load audio files with Resources.Load and play them
I cant get it to work. I want to load three audio files at the beginning of a script and play them later responding to mouse clicks or touches. But I don't get it to work!
I fiddled around with AudioSource and AudioClip but nothing actually works. It seems that I always have to connect the audio source to a Object.
testcode:
//Audios
var aReleaseCube:AudioClip;
var aLiftCube:AudioClip;
var aCubeOnSlot:AudioClip;
function StartMainScript()
{
aLiftCube = Resources.Load("sounds/cube_up",AudioClip);
aReleaseCube = Resources.Load("sounds/release_cube",AudioClip);
aCubeOnSlot = Resources.Load("sounds/cube_on_slot",AudioClip);
aCubeOnSlot.Play();
//define some Levels
LoadLevel(currentLevel);
}
There is no Play() function on audio clips; only on AudioSource. You might think "I don't want all that crap!", but Unity forces you to use an AudioSource anyway. I use a source created as a component on my Player GameObject.
First, load the audio clips:
AudioClip clip1 = (AudioClip) Resources.Load("Sounds/cube_release");
AudioClip clip2 = Resources.Load<AudioClip>("Sounds/cube_up");
AudioClip clip3 = Resources.Load("Sounds/cube_onslot", typeof(AudioClip)) as AudioClip;
Note that I'm using slightly different code to load each of the three clips. All of those formats will work; they all do the same thing. You can use whichever one you like best. There's JS equivalents for each of these methods.
Next, you need an AudioSource. I normally attach this to a GameObject somewhere, using the editor. You don't need three audio sources. And, for correct 3D positioning (whether you just want left/right balance or more sophisticated 3D positioning), it's easier to just set up one AudioSource and set its properties in the editor. Yes, you could instantiate it using a script as well. Your choice.
Finally, to play the sounds, use the PlayOneShot function.
audioSource.PlayOneShot(clip1);
This way, you can play a wide array of clips through one audio source.
Thanks for sharing the multiple syntax options to load from Resources, this is useful!
You might be using Resources.Load incorrectly, if I read the manual right from http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Resources.Load.html , it should be one of
aCubeOnSlot = Resources.Load("sounds/cube_on_slot",typeof(AudioClip));
aCubeOnSlot = Resources.Load("sounds/cube_on_slot") as AudioClip);
Then, you need to have a source, but you said it yourself.
And then it seems there might be an issue with Resources being auto-loaded as 3D clips, see this post for info:
aCubeOnSlot = Resources.Load("sounds/cube_on_slot") as AudioClip); Can't be correct ")"
AudioClip _audio = Resources.Load<AudioClip>("Sounds/whatever_audio_fx");
This is valid on C#. It's called generic method, so you don't need to typecast the AudioClip too often.
If I understand correctly, you want to be able to play any of these audio clips at the same time. For that you'll need 3 separate audio sources. Write a script that does this:
audio.clip = aCubeOnSlot;
audio.Play();
and attach it to 3 separate game objects with audio sources. Then put it inside of a public function that you can call from another script.
I believe .PlayOneShot() will play any number of audio clips on one source.
Previous answers are correct but remember to put your audio files inside Resources folder!
Audio file:
Assets/Resources/Sounds/card.mp3
Code:
AudioSource sndSource = gameObject.AddComponent <AudioSource>() as AudioSource;
AudioClip sndClick = Resources.Load<AudioClip>("Sounds/card");
sndSource.PlayOneShot (sndClick);
In case anyone wants to know
sndSource.loop = true;
sndSource.PlayOneShot (sndClick);
A couple pointers (although I'm not sure if they will solve your problem):
You have to put your audio files into StreamingAssets folder, IIRC
You have to specify full path (i.e. with extension) when loading them
