Play sound on collision

Question

It's a very basic script, but i didn't found anything like this in the web, so, i will ask here, but as i said, it's very simple i am just too bad to know what to do xD (seriously, i am new to scripting).

I made a simple script that play a sound everytime ANYTHING touches the collider of my object.

 #pragma strict
 
 var bipsoundClip:AudioClip;
 
 function OnTriggerEnter(o:Collider){
 
 
     GetComponent.<AudioSource>().PlayOneShot(bipsoundClip);
 }

Let's say i have a cube named "Atlas", (it's just an example) i want to play my sound "bipsound" everytime a SPECIFIC object collides with my cube Atlas. How can i do this? PS: Only a SPECIFIC object/prefab, not the other ones. And i want it to loop.

AudioSource has the atribute Loop just set it to true.

There are many ways to check which object is colliding, one is checking the name atribute of the collider and make a if statement to compare with the ones you want, like:

 if(other.gameObject.name == "MyObject")
 {
        //Do something
 }

You can also do it with tags or even with a specific atribute from a specific componente, like:

 //You should check if the componente is null in case of many objects with different components colliding.
 if(other.transform.GetComponent<ScriptName>().myVariable == value)
 {
    //Do something
 }

You can create a custom tag for that specific object, assign that tag to the object you want, then in the script you can do something like this.

 function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
 {
 if (other.transform.tag == "your tag")
 {
 GetComponent.<AudioSource>().PlayOneShot(yoursound);
 }
 }`

Try attaching this script (and the audio source) to the specific object (that way when that object collides with something else - the cube - it will play the sound).

This for the looping: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/541999/how-to-play-loop-an-audio-clip-on-button-hold-down-1.html . (Sorry don't have a java version).

Alternatively try clicking loop audio on audio source.

Hope this helps.

This doesn't makes sense! You're telling me to do exactly the opposite of what should be done, this is ridiculous ...

I don't quite know how you can claim this is wrong (because it works!). Initially you said you made a script to play a sound when any object collides with the cube. You can either (as @Search said) check the object colliding with the cube then if the object is the specific object execute the code to play the sound (this is the most efficient way), or (on the flip side) you could change it so that every time the cube touches the specific object it plays the sound. It's exactly the same both ways (It's just a different way of thinking about it -if one way doesn't succeed try another way!) just one is more efficient. I'm not sure how you didn't understand to be honest the logic behind it is simple...

You said to attach my script to my specific object. Why this doesn't makes sense? Because i wanted $$anonymous$$Y CUBE to play a alert sound when a specific object collide with it. If i attach $$anonymous$$Y SCRIPT to THE SPECIFIC OBJECT, it will make a sound, oh wait, it will not BECAUSE IT WILL NOT COLLIDE WITH $$anonymous$$Y CUBE AND IT WILL PLAY THE SOUND EVERYTI$$anonymous$$E IT COLLIDES WITH ANYTHING '-'
