Question Destroy GameObject without affecting AudioClip.

I'm very new to Unity and have stumbled on a small issue.
I'm in the process of adding some sound files to a 2D game. I have collectible GameObject that needs to be destroyed when the player collides with it. Now everything works fine and I can play the sound, however when I add the "Destroy(gameObject);" line the sound is no longer heard in the game.

How can I solve this?
Thanks.

 

One option is to use Play Clip at Point instead of Play One Shot.

This creates an audio source in the scene at the position you pass in and then cleans it up afterwards.

It can be useful for playing a clip from a destroyed object. I wrote about it on my blog here: https://gamedevbeginner.com/how-to-play-audio-in-unity-with-examples/#clip_at_point

 

Great, I'm gonna give this a read and see if I can utilise this method. Thanks!

 

This is great, I do have one small problem though.
I wasn't sure if it was working at first because I couldn't hear anything amongst the other sounds. Once I muted all the other sounds, I could just about make out the sound of the PlayAtPoint clip.. I don't really understand why the volume is so low as I have all the default settings.

*Fixed it*
Thanks very much the help. Your blog post is very useful.
