Replacing a sound in Unity that uses PlayClipAtPoint() rather than GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play()?

Replacing a sound in Unity that uses PlayClipAtPoint() rather than GetComponent().Play()?

from heavy.

Hi @TomAnks a typical solution to this would be to instantiate the explosion GameObject from a Prefab that already has the Heavy script attached.

See the docs on prefabs here and here

Your instantiatation sequence might look something like this:

public GameObject explosionPrefab;

void Start() {
   GameObject explosion = (GameObject) Instantiate(explosionPrefab, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);
   Hv_explosion_AudioLib script = explosion.GetComponent<Hv_explosion_AudioLib>();
   // do things with the heavy script
}

Hi Joe, thanks for that. I've not used Unity before this so I'm still figuring things out - I'll let you know how I get on!

No problem, the easiest way to generate the Prefab is to create a gameobject in the heirarchy with all the components you want to use. Then drag it into the Assets/File section and it'll turn into a blue cube. Delete the old gameobject and drag the new prefab back in.

Creating a prefab and referencing it in the Bomb.cs code worked perfectly, thanks Joe!
