Audio Clip trouble

Question

I have an audio clip that uses AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint to play when a button is pressed. The button that is pressed makes the scene change, so it only plays part of the audio clip. How would I get the audio clip play fully while still changing scenes (Note: It is only a second or 2 long, I dont want it to keep playing throughout the scene)

 var yourAudio : AudioSource;
 
 
 function OnGUI()
     {
     if(GUI.Button(new Rect(10,10,100,100))
     {
     audio.Play();
     ChangeScene();
     }
     }
     function ChangeScene()
     {
     yield WaitForSeconds(10);//delay time to finish your sound
     //then load a scene
     Application.LoadLevel(0);
     
     }

I dont know if this code will help you but i think this will give you an idea to your problem

I have tried using this in csharp but I have no idea how to use yield.

This is the function I added:

 void PlayAgain()
         {
             yield WaitForSeconds(1);
             Application.LoadLevel(GameplayLevel);
         }

Then I referenced it in the GUI but I have an error saying:

error CS1525: Unexpected symbol (', expecting )', ,', ;', [', or ='

This error is right after "yield WaitForSeconds"

For coroutine functions in CSharp use:

  IEnumerator PlayAgain() { //change type
   yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.0f); //change return
   Application.LoadLevel(GameplayLevel);
  }

I added what you said @zharik86 and now the audio plays but the level never loads and I can just click the button as much as I want

Most likely you incorrectly transferred a code to CSharp. I will write the common method. Below I will write a full code which works:

  public AudioSource myAudio = null; //reference for your audio if it's not component of this object
  //It is possible to make also a variable when pressed the button
  //it is impossible to press more if the audio didn't come to an end yet.
  private bool goAudio = false;


  void OnGUI() {
   if (GUI.Button(new Rect(0, 0, 200, 100), "Load level") && !goAudio) {
    StartCoroutine(this.myPlayAgain());
   }
  }

  IEnumerator myPlayAgain() {
   goAudio = true;
   myAudio.Play();
   //yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.0f);
   //We can find duration of audio and use this value.
   yield return new WaitForSeconds(myAudio.clip.length);
   Application.LoadLevel(GameplayLevel);
   goAudio = false;
  }

The way that I'm handling this is that for AudioClips that need to be played across scenes I play them on an AudioSource that is associated with a script on a GameObject that I've used "DontDestroyOnLoad" with.

In my case (for better or worse) I have a "GameController" that survives across all scene changes. That is where I store my "persistent" data. This allows me to fade in the loading scenes ambient "soundtrack" while fading out the exiting scenes "soundtrack:

Let me know if you would like me to expand on this.
