MissingMethodException: 'UnityEngine.AudioClip.Play'

I’m new to using Unity and to programming in general, and I’m trying to get a sound clip to play when a character runs into a collider, but Unity gives me the error “MissingMethodException: Method Not Found: ‘UnityEngine.AudioClip.Play’.” I’m not really sure what that means or what I can do to fix it.

This is the code I’m using:

var aSound : AudioClip;
var targetObject : GameObject;

function OnCollisionEnter(collision:Collision){

    if(collision.gameObject.tag == "Player"){
    audio.PlayOneShot(aSound);

 }
 
}

It means the method is missing or not found, the error message says it really.

If you check the docs for AudioClip, it does not have a method called PlayOneShot.

Maybe you meant to use AudioSource.PlayOneShot instead.

This is what I get for trying to work without my designated programmer, haha. Well, AudioSource just made more problems, but I did work out a solution:

var aSound : AudioClip;
var targetObject : GameObject;
private var setTrigger : boolean = false;

function OnTriggerEnter(){

if (!setTrigger) {

	audio.PlayOneShot(aSound);
    setTrigger = true;

    }

}

This is probably a roundabout way of doing it, but I’m more of a designer, and this works, so I’m not complaining. My characters now run through the collider and trigger dialog without repeating it when they go back through it. Sweet.
