Adding your own sound effect to the game folders

Before you do anything in the Unity editor, you'll first need to add the sound effect into the game. So, in File Explorer, open the Assets folder. Then, double click the Assets folder (yes, i know, weird) and open the Music folder. Here, you will put all your sound effects.

Adding the sound effect into the game

Open your project in Unity. If you don't have a project, please visit Introduction.

First, open your project in Unity. If you don't have a project, please visit Introduction.

In the file explorer at the bottom, you will want to go to the same directory that contains your sound effects. Then, copy one of the existing prefabs and rename the prefab to whatever you want. Then, drag your sound effect file into the AudioClip tab.

Now, go into the file explorer and open the Scripts folder. Next, open the Audio folder, and open up the Game Assets script. Here, scroll down and write:

public AudioClip audioClipName;

where audioClipName is the name you want to give to the AudioClip.

After that, go to the Scenes folder. Here, double-click the MainMenu scene. Then, open the GameAssets object. Expand the Game Assets script if it is collapsed, and drag the sound effect file into the newly created tab.

Playing the sound effect in code

If you want to play the sound effect in code, it's very simple. All you have to do, is add this line of code:

AudioManager.i.PlaySound(GameAssets.i.audioClipName);

where audioClipName is the name you gave to the AudioClip.
