How would I call an Audio Mixer Snapshot in a script?

If this is how standard Audio Sources can be used, how might I use a Snapshot in a similar context? I get the feeling this isn’t what Audio Mixer was intended for, but I’m curious to see if it’s possible.

public class PlayerAudio : MonoBehaviour {

    public AudioMixerSnapshot lightAttack;
    public AudioMixerSnapshot heavyAttack;
    public AudioMixer playerCombat;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse1))
             GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();

        if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Mouse1))
            GetComponent<AudioSource>().Stop();
    }

Have you found Unity’s AudioMixerSnapshot tutorial already?

Thanks, that helped a little bit. But I’m still not sure I understand how to use them. I selected correct the snapshot within the script in Unity’s inspector, but it still doesn’t play the audio on button press.

I got the audio to work on button press when I was working with the standard Audio Source, and I had no issue activating Snapshots with triggers. But this function is giving me grief. What am I doing wrong?

    public AudioMixerSnapshot lightattack;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse1))
            lightattack.TransitionTo(.01f);
    }

Hello G. Did you get it to work ?

I think you have to both play the audio from the audio source and run the transition script
