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. $$anonymous$$y mistake. I updated with a timing. Now the sound will happen every 10 sec.
