Why don't we hear 2 sounds on collision?

We have two OnCollisionEnter2D methods. One is in the Ball script, which plays a random collision sound. The other one is in the Block script, which plays a breakSound using an AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint() comment.
So my question is, why can we only hear the breakSound audio (in the Block’s script), and not the random one (in the Ball’s script)?

Hi Almog,

That’s a good question. Are your sound clips loud enough?

#3

Oh my bad :sweat_smile:
I just tried to set the breakSound further away from the camera so it will be quieter, and now I can hear the random sound. Guess the breakSound was louder so I didn’t hear the random sound.
This makes me think, is there a way to only make the breakSound to work?

Thank you so much for your response!

Sure. In the ball’s OnCollisionEnter2D method, you could check if the other game object has got a Block component attached. If it has, you don’t play sound clip of the ball.

How can I do that? What line of code can I use?

For example:

Block block = {yourVariableNameInTheParenthesesOfTheMethod}.gameObject.GetComponent<Block>();

if (block != null)
{
    // code for playing the sound
}
