Title: Set Random Audio Clip
Post by: sebaslive on March 20, 2015, 01:44:56 PM

So, in the latest release of Unity 5 you can see that all the audio has been changed from automatically being 3D to 2D which makes all One shot audios pointless in a 3D game (if you know how to change the settings, let me know!) There is an action for Play Random sound. How about a Set Random Audio Clip? Just add it in and use the audio play action to play the sound.

Useful, thanks.
Some guys modified the PlayRandomSound action to include the spatial setting. This could also be a useful alternative.

I'm also considering making a custom action that allows you to create a new AudioSource component, assign audio settings, and store that in a variable. You could use this to create multiple AudioSources on a single gameobject at Awake, then refer to them easily within the FSM to Play or adjust settings such as pitch.
Will be my first time creating a custom action though, so might take me some fiddling...

Excellent, thanks for this and good luck with the action. I am still trying to get the hang of it.
