Temporarily disable audio?

Questions & Answers
1

The title basically says it, but I’m making an FPS game and would like to know how to disable audio for a specific time, (for example, 3 seconds.) My FPS character can press the reload key (R) as many times as they want while it is reloading and the reload sound will play, so I need to find a way around this. Can anyone help with disabling audio temporarily (until the reload time passes) or some other way around this?

Side notes:

  • The reload function is called by pressing R
  • Once the reload is complete, the player can’t reload again until either the bullets are less than a full clip, or they manually reload by pressing the R key.

(So basically the question is how can I play the audio only one time while it is reloading?)

Thanks in advance!

Something like this

var reloadTime : float;
var playing : boolean;

function Update () {

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Reload") && playing == false){
Reload();
}
}

function Reload() {
playing = true;

///PlaySound

yield WaitForSeconds (reloadTime);
playing = false;
}
