OneShotSound length?

How can I limit the length of a one-shot sound when changing the actual file is not enough? Do I have to flick mute on and off?

You say you want to limit the length - does this mean make the entire audio clip play faster, or stop the audio clip before it's finished playing?

You can use audio.Stop() as well. It’s better because it really stops the sound. With mute, the sound continues playing - and it will be “ressurected” if you fire a second sound before it has ended.

You can use a coroutine to do it in a painless fire and forget fashion:

function PlaySoundLimited(sound: AudioClip, duration: float){
    audio.PlayOneShot(sound);
    yield WaitForSeconds(duration);
    audio.Stop();
}
