Playing multiple sounds on same key input ("e")

Questions & Answers

Hi people,

So, I haven’t been on Unity Answers in a while as I like to learn things the hard way… However, this one has just completely frustrated me and I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it.

The way I want this to work is by the character going up to a cup to press the E key which should then play the first sound, WAIT FOR IT TO FINISH, then when they press the E key again, it should play the soundClip2 AudioClip and then WAIT FOR IT TO FINISH, and lastly, play the soundClip3 when the user presses E.

After that is all done, I want it to go back to the top of the script. Do I need to add a Function Update or anything?

It would be really appreciated if you could get me sorted on this problem as it’s begun to put a halt on my project.

`public var soundClip1 : AudioClip;
public var soundClip2 : AudioClip;
public var soundClip3 : AudioClip;
// Play default sound

function OnTriggerStay (col:Collider){

    if(Input.GetKey("e")) {
         audio.clip = soundClip1;
         audio.Play();
         yield WaitForSeconds (soundClip1.audio.clip.length);                         
       
     }
     else if(Input.GetKey("e")) {
        audio.clip = soundClip2;
        audio.Play();
        yield WaitForSeconds (soundClip2.audio.clip.length);
       
	   
    }
   else if(Input.GetKey("e")) { 
        audio.clip = soundClip3;
        audio.Play();
        yield WaitForSeconds (soundClip3.audio.clip.length);   
        

    }
}`

Here is the scene I am working on

Because I can’t get this script to work, I have decided to stick to a shortenered version of it, but that’s not what I want as it only plays one sound. ALSO when I keep pressing E, it spams the sound… I want it to play the sound once, and then when it finishes, it plays again when the E key is pressed. I have tried PlayOneShot, and it tells me something like Unity can’t support it or so…

public var soundClip1 : AudioClip;
public var soundClip2 : AudioClip;
public var soundClip3 : AudioClip;
    // Play default sound
       
   function OnTriggerStay (col:Collider){
    

        if(Input.GetKey("e")) {
             audio.clip = soundClip1;
             audio.Play();
             yield WaitForSeconds (soundClip1.audio.clip.length);     
           
     }
    }

Hello,

Assuming the OnTriggerStay() is actually triggered, I think you can simply do like this:

public var soundClip : AudioClip[]; //to be assigned in inspector
private var looper : int = 0;

    function OnTriggerStay (col:Collider){
     
         if(Input.GetKey("e")) {
         	if(!audio.isPlaying)
         	{
    	             audio.clip = soundClip[looper];
    	             audio.Play();
                     looper++;
                     looper = looper%soundClip.Length;
            }    
     
         }
     }
