Playing multiple sounds at the same time?

Questions & Answers
1

I’m working on a 2D 8-ball pool game. In my game, each pool ball has a AudioSource attached. This AudioSource plays a hit sound with a random pitch every time it collides with another ball. However, as far as I can tell, Unity is only playing one sound at a time. I want sounds to overlap each other rather than play in rapid succession. Here’s my code:

	public AudioClip ballHit;
	public float audioSpeedModifier;
	public AudioClip ballHit;
	Rigidbody2D rBody;
	AudioSource audioSource;

	void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D col){
		if (col.gameObject.tag == "Ball" || col.gameObject.tag == "CueBall"){
			audioSource.clip = ballHit;
			audioSource.volume = rBody.velocity.magnitude * audioSpeedModifier;
			float random = Random.Range (0.7f , 1.3f);
			//Debug.Log (random);
			audioSource.pitch = random;
			audioSource.Play ();
		}
	}

Thanks.

The best way to get around this is to use audioSource.PlayOneShot() as opposed to audioSource.Play(). Keep in mind that PlayOneShot requires an audioClip parameter, so you should make a

public AudioClip hitClip;

and call

audioSource.PlayOneShot(hitClip);
