Sound plays once close to an object

Question

I've seen a lot of scripts that play a sound once you collide with an object, but I need one that makes a sound play once you come close to a specific object. I also need it to work on multiple objects throughout one level. Can someone help me with a script?

You can compare the distance between the player and the object with distance() function and then when the guy gets in the range, play the sound.

 var other : Transform;
 var range:int;
 var sound:AudioClip;
 var played:boolean;
 var timing:int;
 var delay:int=10;
 
 function Start(){
 played=false;
 timing =Time.time;}
 
 function Update(){
 if (Vector3.Distance(other.position, transform.position)<range) {
       if(timing<Time.time){
            played = true;
            timing = Time.time + delay;}
   }
 if(played){
 AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(sound, transform.position);
 played=false;
 }

Thank You! This helps so much! Is this a way to make it so the sound dosen't loop?

Yes, just add in if(played) : audio.loop = false

I'm having trouble implmenting the audio.loop = false into the script. After messing with errors for 10 minutes I was led to if(played){ audio.loop = false; at the end of the script, but that still continued to loop the sound. I would I implement if(played) : audio.loop = false into the scipt?

No the pb comes frm the fact that played gets back to true right on. My mistake. I updated with a timing. Now the sound will happen every 10 sec.

This script is AWESOME...Is it posible to add if you spot or look at enemy then it plays the sound.I was trying to set it,I have even checked tutorials but I can't get it right.I must be doing something wrong.If you find the way to set it,could you please post a complete script-it would mean a lot to me.-thanks (sorry for my bad English)
