Check for audioSource?

Audio & Video
1

I’m trying to check for an audioSource on an object but I can’t seem to find the right syntax.

if(gameObject.tag==("fish") AudioSource)
				{
				audio.Play();
				Destroy(gameObject);
				}

I’m sure this is 101 type stuff, but it eludes me.

thanks,
B.

I’m assuming that your AudioSource is a component on the object… so something like

var audio = gameObject.GetComponent(AudioSource); // or just gameObject.AudioSource

if(audio)
{
...
}

untested code…

Appreciate your input Lefty.

But what I was trying to do was set up a test for a specific tag check if the object had an audio source. I just wasn’t sure how to write it. If I check for objects with tag (“fish”) that do not have an audio source component, it kicks out an error.

I guess I could require an audio source on all objects with tag == (“fish”):

[RequireComponent(typeof(AudioSource))]

but I’m not sure if that would make a performance difference, so my first choice was to test for tag if there were an audio source present.

Thanks,
