Play Sound when GUI button is pressed.

Question

Hello, I am trying to have a quick sound play when I press a GUI Button Here is the script that I have for the GUI buttons. Is there an easy way to attach a sound to each button.

var model : GameObject;

function OnGUI () {

 //background box GUI.Box (Rect (10,130,100,90), "Sounds");

 //Make first button if (GUI.Button (Rect(20,160,80,20), "Go")){

 //Make second button if (GUI.Button (Rect(20,190,80,20), "Stop")){

} }

It is in fact very simple: All you need to do is attach an AudioSource to the same game object (or any other game object), provide a "slot" for that audio source, e.g.

var audio : AudioSource;

And then call

audio.PlayOneShot(audio.clip);

in your if-blocks. If you want multiple sounds, simply create one game object with relevant audiosources attached for each sound you want to play (and create var audio1 : AudioSource; and so on, or use names that actually will tell you what the sound means).

here's what I did:

var model : GameObject; var track : AudioClip;

function OnGUI () {

//background box GUI.Box (Rect (10,130,100,90), "Sounds"); //$$anonymous$$ake first button if (GUI.Button (Rect(20,160,80,20), "Go")){ audio.loop = false;

   audio.PlayOneShot(track);

} //$$anonymous$$ake second button if (GUI.Button (Rect(20,190,80,20), "Stop")){ audio.Stop(); } }

I added a component which is Audio Source to the main camera, dragged my mp3 to the track variable and I also dragged this one to the AudioClip slot. It worked but my editor log returns this message: $$anonymous$$issingComponentException: There is no 'AudioSource' attached to the "$$anonymous$$ain Camera" game object, but a script is trying to access it. You probably need to add a AudioSource to the game object "$$anonymous$$ain Camera". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.
