Audio How to Assign Audio to Specific Area of Map?

Hello,

I have a level in a 2D platformer game that I want to have a few audio transitions. The top part of the map I want to have 1 song play as soon as the player enters the level. There's a long section where the user falls and I don't want there to play any audio. Then in the final room I want a totally different song to play. I was aware that the min distance and area affected where the audio would be played. However when I have both audio objects in place and with their specific area, both songs play at the same time.

 

You can technically do this with 3D audio sounds and set the curves and distances properly ... perhaps like this:




But that's not how I would handle this here ... I would do this by just triggering the audiosource.play based on the events of the level (player falling = stop first audio and play next audio). Since there's a silent gap between the two musics this is perfectly fine.

 

Thank you very much, but I ended up writing a script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
6. public class SoundOff : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     public AudioClip nextMusic; // drag the next music here in the Inspector
9.     public AudioSource audioObject; // drag the music player here or...
10.  
11.     void Start()
12.     { // find it at Start:
13.       // supposing that the music player is named "MusicPlayer":
14.         audioObject = gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
15.     }
16.  
17.     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
18.     {
19.         if (other.tag == "Player")
20.         { // only an object tagged Player stops the sound
21.             audioObject.Stop();
22.             Debug.Log("Player entered!");
23.         }
24.     }
25.  
26.     void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other)
27.         //use ontriggerexit 2D instead of no 2D because of collider
28.    
29.     {
30.         if (other.tag == "Player")
31.         { // only an object tagged Player restarts the sound
32.             audioObject.clip = nextMusic;  // select the next music
33.             audioObject.Play(); // play it
34.             Debug.Log("Player exit!");
35.         }
36.     }
37. }

 

That's basically what my second suggestion was
