Play and stop sound with two different buttons.

I have two game objects 3D buttons named "red" and "green", I want to click on the "green" button to play a sound(in a loop) and click the "red" button to stop the same sound. How do I accomplish that?

I tried the code below it works on the "green" button, but I'm not sure how to implement the code to turn music off using the "red" button. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class SoundON : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     AudioSource audioSource;
7.     public AudioClip mySound;
8.  
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.         audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
12.         audioSource.clip = mySound;
13.     }
14.  
15.     void OnMouseDown()
16.     {
17.         audioSource.Play();
18.      }
19.  
20. }
21.  

 

The same way but with Stop.

 

I tried but it wasn't working. I attached a AudioSource to that game object it still gives me that error
MissingComponentException: There is no 'AudioSource' attached to the "Stop" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a AudioSource to the game object "Stop". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.

 

Hmm, I would think you need to access the same AudioSource, though. If it's playing a certain clip that you want to control, you would need the same AudioSource.

 

Hm ok, so how I do i attach the same AudioSource?

Maybe this method isn't that optimal.
or is there any other efficient way to play/stop the sound with 2 different buttons?

 

Make audiosource public and get the value of it in the other class and simply use .stop

 

Hello victhevip,
You need to attache same script on the both gameObject name "red" and "green" and AudioSource and make a check if gameobject is green than play or if gameobject is red stop it.

void OnMouseDown()
{
if (gameObject.name == "green") {
if (!audioSource.isPlaying)
{
audioSource.clip = mySound;
audioSource.Play ();
}
}
else if (gameObject.name == "red")
{
GameObject.Find ("green").GetComponent<AudioSource> ().Stop();
}
}

Thanks
