Making a sound effect play a single time on collision

Code (csharp):

1.     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider)  {
2.        
3.         if (collider.tag == "ScoreBox") {
4.             audio.Play ();
5. }
6. }

Basically I want a sound effect to play when my player collides with a box collider. It's working, however the sound continues to loop even though I have the sound effect set to not loop. The sound is in an audio source which is in the player, and I tried "PlayOneShot" but was fairly confused by it. So if that's what I should be using, some explanation to it and how exactly I'd implement it in the code would be awesome.

Thanks!

 

Would really love some help, I feel like it's a simple solution and I'm just lacking the knowledge haha.

 

Try :

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. audio.PlayOneShot(YourSound);
3.  

 

You can either do as Intense_Gamer94 suggested before my reply, in which case you will need to specify your AudioClip on each call, or simply (within Start) set the following:

Code (csharp):

1. audio.loop = false;

... and then use your code as is.

I hope this helps.

Reference: AudioSource.loop

 

Thanks, works perfectly! If I wanted to do it the way Intense Gamer said however, how exactly do I specify the audio clip?

By that I mean what do I type and where?

 

By doing something like this :

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. //JS
3.  
4. var mySound : AudioClip;
5.  
6. function OnTriggerEnter2D(collider : Collider2D)  {
7.  
8. if (collider.tag == "ScoreBox") {
9.  
10. audio.PlayOneShot (mySound);
11.  
12. }
13. }
14.  
15.  

 

Nevermind I figured it out haha
