How to play audioclips in unity from script?


So I am trying to get the sing method to play one of the audioclips I created up top. I know I need an audioSource, I just have no clue how it fits in with the audioClips. I don't currently have an audiosoure assigned to the object that this script is assigned to, so that might impact things. Thanks for your help.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Piano : MonoBehaviour {
private List<AudioClip> notes = new List<AudioClip>();

public string voice; 

public AudioClip ash1, a1, b1, csh1, c1, dsh1, d1, e1, f1, fsh1, g1, gsh1;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
    //octave1
    notes.Add(a1); notes.Add(b1); notes.Add(ash1); notes.Add(c1); notes.Add(csh1);notes.Add(d1); notes.Add(dsh1);
    notes.Add(e1); notes.Add(f1); notes.Add(g1); notes.Add(gsh1);

    WarmUp(voice);
}
//consider adding countertenor, true alto (i am using mezzo soprano), and baritone.
void WarmUp(string vp)
{
    //high and low end of voice parts 
    // 30 = c4 for example
    int high;
    int low;

    ArrayList range = new ArrayList();
    //c4 to c6 
    if (vp == "Soprano")
    {
        high = 0; //this is just a range to make the code shorter
        low = 7;

        for(int i = low; i < high; i++)
        {
            range.Add(notes[i]);
        }

        Sing(range);
    }
}

/**
 * @Param: range. the arraylist of range of notes. 
 * shift the pitch UP one half step if the up arrow key is pressed
 * shift the pitch down one half step if the down arrow key is pressed
 * shift the pitch up a third (4 half steps) if the left arrow key is pressed
 * shift the pitch up a fifth (7 half steps) if the right arrow key is pressed
 */
void Sing(ArrayList range)
{
    //how to play one of the audioclips in range here
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

}
}

Solution

  • Attach a AudioSource component to your GameObject.

    In Sing:

    yourAudioSource.clip = (AudioClip)range[Random.Range(0, range.Count)];
    yourAudioSource.Play()
    

    You might also consider changing ArrayList range to List<AudioClip> range or similar to avoid the cast
