How to string multiple audio clips together

Question

Hi guys,

I need to string three audio clips together to give a score at the end of the game. For example, I've got a clip which says "You've got", several with a number - e.g. "two" and finally "stars!".

Obviously, the number audio clip is the player's score, stored as an int variable. Would any of you clever people be able to suggest how I can play each in turn so that it sounds like a sentence?

I've only been using Unity for a couple of weeks (and programming for as long!), so be gentle with me!

Many thanks

You can use something like this:

var startClip: AudioClip; // make sure to attach all your number audio clips here var numberClip:AudioClip[]; var endClip: AudioClip;

function PlayNumberSound(i : int)
{
  audio.clip = startClip;
  audio.Play();
  yield WaitForSeconds (audio.clip.length); 
  audio.clip = numberClip[i - 1]; // i-1 because array starts at 0
  audio.Play(); // you can probably leave this one out
  yield WaitForSeconds (audio.clip.length);
  audio.clip = endClip;
  audio.Play(); // you can probably leave this one out
  yield WaitForSeconds (audio.clip.length);
  audio.Stop();
}

function Start()
{
  // Should play startClip + numberClip[5-1] + endClip
  PlayNumberSound(5);
}

I haven't tested it, but it might work :).

Thank you Felix, you clever chap! I really appreciate this. It works perfectly (after I remembered to attach an audio source to the game object the script was attached to!). Now I need to work out some way of accessing the array based on the value of a string variable!
