Question audio music player with time delay

im trying to create a music script that will play random music in a game scene, but i want like a 5 minute delay in between songs. this is my current code. there is no delay yet. the music just goes from one song to the next. but i want 5 minutes in between tracks. any help would be awesome


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class MusicPlayer : MonoBehaviour {
public AudioClip[] clips;
private AudioSource audioSource;
void Start () {
audioSource = FindObjectOfType<AudioSource>();
audioSource.loop = false;
}

private AudioClip GetRandomClip()
{
return clips[Random.Range(0,clips.Length)];
}

void Update () {
if (!audioSource.isPlaying)
{
audioSource.clip = GetRandomClip();
audioSource.Play();
}
}
}

 

anyone?

 

If you don't need timing to be incredibly accurate (and it sounds like you don't) then you can do something as easy as this

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class MusicPlayer : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public AudioClip[] clips;
8.     private AudioSource audioSource;
9.  
10.     //5 second delay for testing
11.     public float DelayTargetTime = 5f;
12.     //public only so that you can watch it count up in the inspector
13.     public float DelayTimer = 0f;
14.  
15.     //A flag we can use to turn off audio scheduling if we need to
16.     public bool PlaylistSchedulingEnabled = true;
17.  
18.     void Start()
19.     {
20.         //If your audiosource component is attached to the same gameobject as this script
21.         //you should use audioSource = gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
22.         //not audioSource = FindObjectOfType<AudioSource>();
23.         audioSource = gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
24.         audioSource.loop = false;
25.         //we will play the first clip immediately by setting the delay timer to our target delay
26.         DelayTimer = DelayTargetTime;
27.     }
28.  
29.     private AudioClip GetRandomClip()
30.     {
31.         return clips[Random.Range(0, clips.Length)];
32.     }
33.  
34.     void Update()
35.     {
36.         if (!audioSource.isPlaying)
37.         {
38.             //has our target delay elapsed?
39.             if (DelayTimer >= DelayTargetTime)
40.             {
41.                 if (PlaylistSchedulingEnabled)
42.                 {
43.                     //reset our timer
44.                     DelayTimer = 0f;
45.  
46.                     audioSource.clip = GetRandomClip();
47.                     audioSource.Play();
48.                 }
49.             }
50.             else
51.             {
52.                 //add the time that has passed to our delaytimer
53.                 DelayTimer += Time.deltaTime;
54.             }
55.  
56.         }
57.     }
58. }
59.  

use code tags next time you post code

As you said, you are trying to make a music script that will play random music in a game scene. But you need 5 minutes delay between songs. You can set a timer for that. Music will be delayed from one song to another with a delay of 5 minutes. As you needed.

 

thank you guys for the help. i got it working
