Question

Hi, I'm trying to make a phone ring and when you get near it the ringing stops and a voice audio takes its place. I just can't seem to do it though. I wrote the script but it says "Play" isnt part of Unity Engine Audio Clip. Here is my script:

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit)
{
if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "hippo")
    {
        myAudioFile.Play();

    }   
}

Play() is for an audio source, not an audio clip. You have to assign the audio clip to the audio source if you haven't already, then do audio.Play(), assuming that the audio source you want to play is attached to the same object that the script is. Or if the audio source is on the other object:

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit)
{
if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "hippo")
    {
        hit.collider.audio.clip = myAudioFile;
        hit.collider.audio.Play();
    }   
}

My script is attached to my Player since its collision, i need my player to like touch the phone and then the audio plays. So can you throw that by me again? My audio clip is attached to the source.

Thanx that worked, I only have one problem- turning the ringing off when I touch the "hippo" game object. Please help

@DTJ Productions: If the ringing is being produced by the "hippo" object's audio source, then replacing it with "myAudioFile" like the script already does should stop the ringing.

That did not help, I have a noise playing "On Awake" and need it to stop the time I touch the object or the time the other audio turns on.

You need to access the Audio Source Component of the phone GameObject, then tell that to play. I think this will work:

private var phone : GameObject;

function Awake() {
phone = GameObject.Find("Phone");
}

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit)
{
if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "hippo")
    {
        phone.audio.Play();

    }   
}

Or you can make "phone" a public variable and set it in the Editor.

Hey I was wondering for the OnControllerColliderHit function and it says phone.audio.Play(); Do I name my audio sound that I want to play "phone"?

Oh and also (sorry for these idiotic questions) I was wondering what to tag the object I want to touch and play the sound, and what to name it. thanks

See Eric's answer. I think it'll work better for you in this case.
