Continueing music after un-pausing

Question

I want music to continue after un-pausing from where it stopped when you first paused. my script so far:

var nextSong1 : int = 0; var myPlaylist1 : AudioClip;

function Update() { if ( Input.GetKeyDown("p") ){ // 'p' has been pressed PlayNextSong1(); // play the next song } } function PlayNextSong1 () { if ( audio.isPlaying ) { // if there is audio playing audio.Pause(); // stop it audio.clip = myPlaylist1; // set the audio clip to the next in the array audio.Play(); // start the 'nextSong' playing } if (audio.Pause ) { // if there is audio playing audio.Play(); } }

what can i do?

You can save and restore your audio position with "AudioSource.time".

Hope this helps.

I know this is an old thread, but I came across this issue too and am using mp3's to save space. I happen to instantiate an audio prefab and have multiple music/background sources, so I found it convenient to simply stuff the time value into the AudioSource (a in this case) localScale transform for safe keeping since the scale of a lone AudioSource GameObject is meaningless and I didn't want to create some additional storage for this silly thing. Something like:

                 if (mute) {
                     a.Pause ();
                     a.transform.localScale = new Vector3(a.time,0,0);
                 } else {
                     a.Play ();
                     a.time = a.transform.localScale.x;
                 }

I'm using Unity 5.3.4f1 and the following (UnPause) makes the music resume at the point where it was paused. I use mp3s for my songs and the following is in Javascript.

     if (paused == true) {
       
     GetComponent.<AudioSource>().Pause();

     }

     else if (paused == false) {

    GetComponent.<AudioSource>().UnPause();

     }
