Script plays sound at incorrect time

Question

I wrote a script that plays a sound after 3 seconds and set it to play on awake which made it play right away. So I tried unchecking Play on awake it doesn't play at all. Where is the error?

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Gunshot : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public AudioClip Gun;
     
     private float volLowRange = .5f;
     private float volHighRange = 1.0f;
     private AudioSource source;
     public float timeLeft = 5.0f;
     
     void Awake()
     {
         
         source = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
     }
     
     
     
     public void Update()
     {
         timeLeft -= Time.deltaTime;
         
         if (timeLeft <= 0.0f)
         {
             float vol = Random.Range(volLowRange, volHighRange);
             source.PlayOneShot(Gun, vol);
         }
     }
 }

@Cluelessguy This should fix your problem. I would just like to note that timeLeft is set to 5 seconds and not 3.

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class Gunshot : MonoBehaviour { public AudioClip Gun;

 private float volLowRange = .5f;
 private float volHighRange = 1.0f;
 private AudioSource source;
 public float timeLeft = 5.0f;

 void Awake()
 {
     source = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
     if (audioSource == null)
     { // if AudioSource is missing
         Debug.LogWarning("AudioSource component missing from this gameobject. Adding one.");
         // let's just add the AudioSource component dynamically
         source = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>(timeLeft);
     }
     if (Gun != null)
     {
         StartCoroutine(PlaySoundAfterDelay());
     }
 }

 IEnumerator PlaySoundAfterDelay(float delay)
 {
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);
     source.PlayOneShot(Gun, vol);
 }

}

@Cluelessguy My apologies. This is what your script should have been

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Gunshot : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public AudioClip Gun;
 
     private float volLowRange = .5f;
     private float volHighRange = 1.0f;
     private AudioSource source;
     public float timeLeft = 5.0f;
 
     void Awake()
     {
         source = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
         if (source == null)
         { // if AudioSource is missing
             Debug.LogWarning("AudioSource component missing from this gameobject. Adding one.");
             // let's just add the AudioSource component dynamically
             source = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
         }
 
         if (Gun != null)
         {
             StartCoroutine(PlaySoundAfterDelay(timeLeft));
         }
     }
 
     IEnumerator PlaySoundAfterDelay(float delay)
     {
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);
         float vol = Random.Range(volLowRange, volHighRange);
         source.PlayOneShot(Gun, vol);
     }
 
 }
