Stopping a sound clip from another script

Hello Everyone! Yes Of course I am a noob! ;-) I'd like to ask you a question. I am learning trying to follow Youtube's tutorials and ...

I have got a Gameobject called (of course) "Player". This GameObject has two scripts attached let's call

a.cs and
b.cs.

In the a.cs script I've got an AudioSource array

Code (CSharp):

1. public AudioSource[] suoni;

so that I can call from this script something like

Code (CSharp):

1.  suoni[1].Pause();
2.  suoni[0].Play();

Now, in the b.cs script I've got some collider detection to ... "kill" my player. And well, if the player is dead ... he can't grumble anymore so I need to stop one of the sound clip of the first (a.cs) script.

How can I call the function to stop sound clip in the first script from the second script?

Thanks and sorry for wasting your time!

 

Create a reference to your audio script in your second script, then reference the AudioSource array from that script.
For example:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class B {
2.  
3.    //Drag script A here from the inspector.
4.    public A audioScript;
5.  
6.    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other) {
7.       //When some collision happens and the player dies
8.       audioScript.suoni[1].Pause();
9.       audioScript.suoni[0].Play();
10.    }
11. }

Alternatively, because both scripts are on the same object, you don't need to make a public reference to script A, and can instead use GetComponent to reference it in script B:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class B {
2.  
3.    private A audioScript;
4.  
5.    void Start() {
6.       audioScript = GetComponent<A>();
7.    }
8.  
9.    //The rest of the code
10. }

It doesn't really matter which way you do it.

 

Thank you very much Cucci! It worked! I tried the second way ... But what do you mean by "Drag Script A here from the inspector" ? I never did that in a tutorial, yet. You literally mean pic the script from Unity Inspector (Non assets?), and drag into "Visual Studio" ?

Yes, Yes, I must confess ... I am not just a noob. I am less than that!
