In this video (objectives)…

  1. Examine our problem with destroying our GameObject and therefore destroying the ability to play our destroyed SFX.
  2. Use PlayClipAtPoint() to solve the issue of our AudioSource being destroyed.

After watching (learning outcomes)… Play sounds from objects which are being destroyed.

I actually ended up doing the sounds as an if-statement for different tags in the Ball. I mean, PlayClipAtPoint() seems like a nifty command but tags just made it so easy. Am I messing up the code efficiency by doing tags and if-statements or is it alright?

Oh, right. I also randomized the pitch of the sound in a seperate method, just to spice it up.

if (hasStarted)
        {
            if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Paddle" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Block")
            {
                RandomPitch();
                myAudioSource.PlayOneShot(sfx[0]);
            }

            if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Wall")
            {
                RandomPitch();
                myAudioSource.PlayOneShot(sfx[1]);
            }

        }```

I’m just confused as to why we would have our break sound playing from the camera’s position and not the position of the block itself.

I use this statement and it seems to work just fine:

AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(breakSound, transform.position);

Is there a hidden reason I’m not seeing that we’re instructed to play it at the camera’s position instead?
