How can I play audio from a file without using Effects?

[Coffeeman]

So I've been adding some stuff to DangIt! to make it so there is an alarm when something fails, and have been having some problems. Basically, I want to play a sound that I get from GameDatabase, without using an EFFECTS block, because I don't want to blanket-add an EFFECTS to all of the parts in the game.

Current code:

    print("starting alarm");
    if (this.AlarmAudio==null)
    {
    	print ("create source");
    	this.AlarmAudio=new AudioSource();
    }

    if (this.audio.clip==null)
    {
    	print ("create clip");
    	this.AlarmAudio.clip=GameDatabase.Instance.GetAudioClip("DangIt/Sounds/alarm"); //Load alarm sound
    }

    if (DangIt.Instance.CurrentSettings.SoundNotifications)
    {
    	print ("play alarm");
    	int i=0;
    	{
    		print("loop:"+i.ToString());
    		print("delay:"+(this.audio.clip.length*i).ToString());
    		this.AlarmAudio.PlayDelayed(this.audio.clip.length*i);
    		i++;
    	}
    }

And here is the error:

How do I do this? Its SO FRUSTRATING!

You basically have it except that AudioSource is a Component that needs to be added to a GameObject, not directly instantiated. Try replacing this

this.AlarmAudio = new AudioSource();

with

this.AlarmAudio = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>()

And then making sure your GameDatabase.Instance.GetAudioClip is not returning null.

Here's an example I made a while ago that plays a sound with a KSPAddon MonoBehaviour; you can do exactly the same with a PartModule

Worked great, thanks!
