Multiple audiosources

Questions & Answers
1

Hi,

I have a script which needs to have multiple audio clips (sound1, sound2 etc.)

My question is as follow: Is it better to use multiple audio components or is it better to make public audioclip variables and assign those to handmade audiosources?

in case of multiple audiocomponents: How can I address the 2 audio components? Normally I would use audio.Play(); and thats it. But nnow that there are 2 audio sources, how do I say which one to pick?

in case of audioclip variables: I tried to make audioclip variables and assigning them to audio sources, but I am getting null reference exceptions. here is how I do it:

public AudioClip c_sound1;
private AudioSource s_sound1;

//inside start()
s_sound1.clip = c_sound1;

//when space key is pressed
s_sound1.Play();

Any direction is appriciated.

Create a AudioSource Component for your game object. The Audio Clip field may be left blank-you are trying to assign it with the script. Change the private to public. After dropping the above script to the Game Object assign c_sound & s_sound in the Inspector. Then you should have no trouble.
