Best way to play audio sound effects

Hey guys,

I always wondered what the default way is to playback audio Sound Effects, because my current way seems kinda overly complicated.

Here is how I do it currently:

I have a GameObject, with an AUDIO.js script. I link every AUDIO source from the scene in there like that:

var EnemyHitSound : AudioSource;
static var enemyHit = false;

And I set up the Update function like that:

function Update () {
	if (enemyHit){
		EnemyHitSound.Play();
		enemyHit = false;
	}
}

So when I want to play the Audiofile from any script I just write: AUDIO.enemyHit = true;

This seems like such a hassle and completely counter intuitive. Is there a more straight forward way of being able to play any Audio Source in the scene, from any script?

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks

var EnemyHitSound : AudioClip;
static var enemyHit = false;

And I set up the Update function like that:
function Update () {
    if (enemyHit) audio.PlayOneShot(EnemyHitSound);
       
    }
}

whi you don’y use “onCollisionEnter” function?is must fast.check the guide.
