Calling a random sound from sound array- no sound being called.

I have a gameObject that has has four audio sources. I can't call the audio sources from this code. Which is also attached to the gameObject. All the audio clips have been assigned in the inspector, and if I tick "Play on awake" inside the audio source in the inspector, sounds are made.
I'm not sure what is wrong. Any insight would be great.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class SoundArrays : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public AudioClip[] AudioClipArray;
4.     private AudioSource Sound_Array;
5.  
6.     // Use this for initialization
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.    
10.         Sound_Array = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
11.     }
12.  
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     void Update()
15.     {
16.    
17.             Sound_Array.clip = AudioClipArray[Random.Range(0, AudioClipArray.Length)];
18.             Sound_Array.Play();
19.      
20.     }
21.  
22. }

 

They are being played but you start a new clip every frame.

Also what do you mean with 4 audiosources? Do you mean you have 4 audioclips in that cliparray?
You're caching only 1 audiosource right here and playing only 1 frame of each clip.

 

Take all that code out of update, then call that code from a key press or other trigger.

 

Thanks for the feedback people. Yes I put an audio source on the gameObject for each audio clip. By your statement ibbybn I'm guessing I need only one audiosource despite the number of clips the audio source can play.

 

Yes, you only need one AudioSource if you plan to assign the clips as you have done in line 17.

Another option would be to have 4 audiosources, each with a seperate clip, assign them to a public audio source array in the inspector, then choose an audiosource at random and play it.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

You're essentially playing a new random clip every frame here. As @EdGunther suggested, create an input system that will play a random sound when requested by the user.

Code (CSharp):

1. private void Update()
2. {
3.    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
4.    {
5.       Sound_Array.clip = AudioClipArray[Random.Range(0, AudioClipArray.Length];
6.       Sound_Array.Play();
7.    }
8. }
