Sound Effect for Selection Grid choices

One area in which the Unity GUI is currently a little weak, in my opinion, is audio. I find it pretty easy to work with text and images with it, but it's more work to bring audio into the picture. It's not a big deal to type "audio.PlayOneShot()" for Buttons, although it would be very nice to be able to define that clip in a Style or Skin. Selection Grids are a different story, however. Does anyone have a tip for getting a sound effect to play only when making a selection in the grid?

 

use GUI.changed
(http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUI-changed.html)

or something like

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function Update () {
3.    if (!selectedgridbutton == selectedgridbutton1) {
4.        //do something
5.    }
6.    selectedgridbutton1 = selectedgridbutton;
7. }
8. function OnGUI () {
9.    selectedgridbutton = GUI.Grid...........
10. }
11.  

Warning it's not real code just an example :wink:

 

Thanks!

I completely forgot I had this thread running. What I ended up doing was:

Code (csharp):

1. private var objects = new Array();  // a list of all currently available objects
2. private var objectClicked : String;  // the object that has last been clicked, used for sfx upon selecting an object
3. var clickSound : GameObject;  // a game object with the click audio clip attached
4.  
5. function Start() {
6.     objects = ?;  // define what the objects array is here
7.     object = objects.length + 1;  // make it so no object is selected to begin with
8.     objectClicked = "";
9. }
10.  
11. function OnGUI () {
12.     var utObjects = objects.ToBuiltin(String);  // so you can modify the objects list and make the GUI grid work
13.     object = GUI.SelectionGrid (Rect (?, ?, ?, ?), object, utObjects); 
14.     if (object <= utObjects.Length) {
15.         if (objectClicked != objects[object]) {
16.             objectClicked = objects[object];
17.             clickSound.audio.Play();
18.         }
19.     }
20. }
