Wait before playing audio

Questions & Answers
1

I didn’t experienced it, but i have seen a lot of users complain about removing the PlayOneShot. As far as i know you used it to play a sound only one time. I want to make a sound be played ONE TIME, wait a few seconds and then play again in a loop: play,wait,play,wait,play,wait, etc…

But how do i do that? I made this for now but it doesn’t seems to work:

#pragma strict

var Enemy : Transform;
var distance = 150;
var Signal : AudioSource;
private var Close = false;
var timer : float; //The time it was supposed to wait.


function Update()
{

    if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, Enemy.position) < distance)
    {
        Close = true;
        Signal.Play(timer); //Doesn't wait.
        //Can't add yield wait for seconds here because it's in an Update function.
        
    }
    else
    {
        Close = false;
    }
}

Use AudioSource.isPlaying to detect if playing is done then start Coroutine and again AudioSource.Play()

I hope this code i made special for you will explain you how to do this.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class AudioS : MonoBehaviour {
    bool PlaySound;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
        PlaySound = true;
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
        if (PlaySound == true) 
        {
            GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
            PlaySound = false;
        }
        if(GetComponent<AudioSource>().isPlaying == false)
        {
            StartCoroutine(Wait());
        }
	}
    IEnumerator Wait()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(2.0f);
        PlaySound = true;
    }
}

You can also use Invoke instead of coroutine.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class vulgerstalAudioLoopDelayed : MonoBehaviour {

    public float delay;
    float delayTemp;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
        delayTemp = delay;
    }
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
        if (GetComponent<AudioSource>().isPlaying)
            delay = delayTemp;
        else
            delay -= Time.deltaTime;

        if (delay <= 0)
            GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();

    }
}
