(C#) How to play sound in weapon script?

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I have been looking around some but cant find a good awnser about my problem with gunfire. I have a audio file in my project, left now is the scripting to get it to play when i fire my weapon with GetButtonDown. I have a feeling that it is not a hard thing to do, but i cant get it to work.

public class ShootRifle : MonoBehaviour

public AudioSource shoot;

void Update () {

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
	{
		shoot.play();
		Rigidbody instantiatedProjectile = Instantiate (projectile,
			transform.position,
			transform.rotation)
			as Rigidbody;
		
		instantiatedProjectile.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(new Vector3(0,0,Speed));
	}
}

I tryd some stuff allready so thats why the shoot.play and audioSource is there.

attach an audio component to the object. this.audio.Play() the word shoot doesn't make sense in this context unless you did some kind of audiosource shoot = this.audio;

I got a bit forward now but the audio still wont play, i managed to add the audio to the script now, but i get an error saying there is no "AudioSource" attached to the "Firespawn" game object. WHat did i miss?

Hi,try using playoneshot

public AudioClip shoot;
void Update(){
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
{
audio.PlayOneShot(shoot);
///yopur other firing code
}
}

Now it works! Thanks :)

Glad i could help

It seems that PlayOneShot does not work in void Update. Anyone else experiencing this? Any one know a way aroung it?

You have not attached an audio source to the weapon… Select your weapon and put an audio source on it. You will get it in Components Menu…

After that :

public AudioClip abc;     //Drag your audio clip here in unity

void yourFunction(){

--------
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
    {
    shoot.play();
    Rigidbody instantiatedProjectile = Instantiate (projectile,
    transform.position,
    transform.rotation)
    as Rigidbody;
     abc.Play();
    instantiatedProjectile.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(new Vector3(0,0,Speed));
    }
    }

}

I still get this error. Type UnityEngine.AudioClip' does not contain a definition for play' and no extension method play' of type UnityEngine.AudioClip' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

	public AudioClip sound1;
	public AudioClip sound2;

void function1()
{
audio.clip = sound1;
audio.Play();
}
void function2()
{
audio.clip = sound2;
audio.Play();
}

You need sound source component to be attached to the object with the scrip.
