Audio Having Audio Play BEFORE Player Dies

Hi,

I have a game scene where when the player collides with an enemy, the player is destroyed and the scene restarts. But how can i have a collision sound effect play before the scene restarts?
I had assigned the AudioSource to the Player but I'm thinking it might not make sense if the payer is destroyed upon collision and if I want to have a collision sound effect.

Here's some code.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
5.  
6. public class Player_Main : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.        
9.     public GameObject enemy_1; // Enemy is named Enemy
10.  
11.     public AudioClip enemy_clip;
12.     public AudioSource enemy_source;
13.    
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.         enemy_source.clip = enemy_clip;
17.     }
18.     void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
19.     {
20.  
21.        if
22.        ((col.gameObject.name == "Enemy"))
23.         {
24.             enemy_source.Play();
25.             Destroy(player);
26.             SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex);
27.         }
28.    
29.    
30.  
31.     }
32. }

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

If you want to play a sound from an object when it's destroyed, that isn't immediately cut off, one option is to use Play Clip at Point. This creates a temporary Audio Source at a position you specify (the player transform for example) and is cleaned up after the sound finishes playing.

I wrote an article about it: https://johnleonardfrench.com/articles/how-to-play-audio-in-unity-with-examples/#clip_at_point

Then you may wish to delay the restarting of the scene with Invoke or with Wait for Seconds in a Coroutine to give the sound time to play.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PlayAudio : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public AudioClip clip;
4.     public float volume=1;
5.  
6.     void Start()
7.     {
8.         AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(clip, transform.position, volume);
9.     }
10. }

Edit: Forgot to add an example.
