[C#]Audio not stopping when new scene is entered(Please Help)

I am trying to add the last thing to game...audio. I menus in my game and I want the music to stop playing when you enter one of the levels. This script is not quite complete yet but I do not want to continue until I can stop playing audio when the player wnters a new level. The problem is I am using DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject) and this is not destroying the object. Even when I try Destroy(gameObject) the object still does not go away. I am a noob for putting sound into my games. This is the VERY first time I have tried adding sound to my games. This is also the first game I have made. Everything is done EXCEPT audio! Please help! Here is my script: (note that some of this code is weird for debugging reasons)

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class MenuBackgroundMusic : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     private static MenuBackgroundMusic backgroundMusic = null;
7.     public bool menuBackgroundMusicPlay = false;
8.     public bool levelBackgroundMusicPlay = false;
9.  
10.     void Awake ()
11.     {
12.         if (Application.loadedLevelName == "Main Menu" || Application.loadedLevelName == "Level Selecter" || Application.loadedLevelName == "Game Shop")
13.         {
14.             audio.Play();
15.             audio.loop = true;
16.             menuBackgroundMusicPlay = true;
17.         }
18.         if (Application.loadedLevelName == "Level1")
19.         {
20.             menuBackgroundMusicPlay = false;
21.         }
22.         if (menuBackgroundMusicPlay == true)
23.         {
24.             DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
25.         }
26.     }
27.  
28.     void Update ()
29.     {
30.         if (menuBackgroundMusicPlay == false)
31.         {
32.             if (Time.time >= 10.0f)
33.             {
34.                 audio.Stop();
35.                 audio.loop = false;
36.             }
37.         }
38.     }
39. }
40.  

 

There is an OnLevelWasLoaded method maybe you can use that to stop the audio?

I see you've got a static backgroundMusic variable but you don't check it in the Awake function. Were you doing a singleton or something? Normally I would check in the Awake or Start function if that is null, and if not, Destroy(gameObject) because I've already got one.

 

I was doing a singleton. I will try that method and see if it works. I may not to get back to you in a while though because I am going away for a few days.

 

We have two services we use, an AudioManager and a MusicManager. This lets us control the volume of sound effects and music separately.

One of the benefits of our MusicManager is that it can only play one audio clip at a time. So if we have a Start screen playing one song, the song will continue to play through level loading until the next scene sends the command to play it's own music.

 

Okay but how do I use MusicManger? I tried to add it as a class in my script and add it as a component for my game object and nothing popped up for either one.

 

I'm not sure what MusicManager you are using. The one we have was made in house by us. Maybe I'll write my own and release it open source sometime.

This should live on a MonoBehaviour that doesn't get destroyed ever. In fact, our MusicManager is usually a singleton or a service so only one exists ever, guaranteed.

EDIT: Went ahead and completed it so it's a singleton. NOT tested.
EDIT2: Bug fixes. Still not tested.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class MusicSingleton : MonoBehaviour {
3.  
4.   public static MusicSingleton instance { get; private set; }
5.  
6.   void Awake() {
7.     if (instance == null) {
8.       instance = this;
9.       DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
10.     }
11.     else { Destroy(gameObject); }
12.   }
13.  
14.   /// Stops previous music and plays music clipToPlay
15.   public void PlayMusic(AudioClip clipToPlay) {
16.     if (audioSource != null  audioSource.clip != clipToPlay) {
17.       audioSource.Stop();
18.       Destroy(audioSource);
19.     }
20.    
21.     if (audioSource == null) {
22.       audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
23.       audioSource.clip = clipToPlay;
24.       audioSource.loop = true;
25.       audioSource.Play();
26.     }
27.  
28.   AudioSource audioSource { get; set; }
29.  
30. }
31.  

After putting this in your first scene, you should be able to play music with this command

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. // Stops previous music and plays new music
3. MusicSingleton.instance.Play(whateverAudioClip);
4.  

 

Okay, like all this has errors because it says that the variable audioSource does not exist in the context and I created a script just for this coding using the same class name as well. The "AudioSource audioSoruce {get; set;}" also gives me an error that says the keyword "get;" does not exist in the current context. With these errors, all the times that you mentioned the variable "audioSource", there is an error because the variables does not exists because when you are defining the variables, there is an error in it so it never really gets created. I know NOTHING about this. Shoot, I never heard of a MusicManager until you posted something about one. So how could I fix this? And by the way, I am no Unity3D pro. But I can say I have a little more experience then what I did 3 months ago.(or way more actually) Thank you!
