Instantiate script for randomly selecting sound is suddenly creating New Game Object in hierarcy??

Questions & Answers

Hello! I’m using this script to randomly select an audio from a list of 3 and it instantiates it into the game then the sound gets deleted after it finishes playing. The script was working perfectly fine until today when I opened up Unity after about a week or so, whenever the script is run and the audio spawns and is deleted, it creates a New Game Object in the hierarchy and it doesn’t get deleted.
I’m not sure what is creating this New Game Object and I can’t figure out how to get rid of it.

I know it’s the sound part of my script because when I removed this script, New Game Object wasn’t getting created.

I’m new to coding and I’m just following lots of tutorials to find scripts that work so if there’s a better way to make this script then please let me know!

public void PlaySound ()
{

	GameObject sound = new GameObject ();
	sound.transform.position = transform.position;
	int randomClip = Random.Range (0, glassSound.Length);
	Instantiate (glassSound [randomClip], transform.position, transform.rotation);
	AudioSource audioSource = sound.AddComponent<AudioSource> ();
	audioSource.PlayOneShot (glassSound [randomClip]);

	Destroy (audioSource, glassSound [randomClip].length);

}

well you never Destroy the GameObject sound in your Script, which holds your AudioSource and the sound to play.

just swap the line with the Destroy part with

Destroy(sound);
if you want to have your GameObject as a Child of your Script GameObject:

public void PlaySound () {
         GameObject sound = new GameObject ();
         sound.transform.parent = this.transform;
         sound.transform.position = transform.position;
         int randomClip = Random.Range (0, glassSound.Length);
         Instantiate (glassSound [randomClip], transform.position, transform.rotation);
         AudioSource audioSource = sound.AddComponent<AudioSource> ();
         audioSource.PlayOneShot (glassSound [randomClip]);
         Destroy (sound);
     }

I changed the last line of code to

Destroy (sound, glassSound [randomClip].length);

and it works now! Thanks!!
