无法将类型“UnityEngine.AudioClip”隐式转换为“UnityEngine.AudioSource”

Question

Trying to make random audio play from an array but keep getting this error:

error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.AudioClip' to 'UnityEngine.AudioSource'

This is my code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class TonicFunction : MonoBehaviour
{
    public AudioSource TonicAudio;
    public AudioClip[] audioClipArray;
   
    void Awake()
    {
        TonicAudio = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
    }

    void Start()
    {
        TonicAudio = audioClipArray[Random.Range(0,audioClipArray.Length)];
        TonicAudio.PlayOneShot (TonicAudio.clip);
    }
}

Beginner at C# so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The problem is the following line:

TonicAudio = audioClipArray[Random.Range(0,audioClipArray.Length)];

Here you're trying to assign an AudioClip to something which is an AudioSource . That won't work. What you instead want to do is inform the AudioSource which clip to play by assigning clip and then play it like

TonicAudio.clip = audioClipArray[Random.Range(0,audioClipArray.Length)];
TonicAudio.Play();

or use PlayOneShot() instead by using

TonicAudio.PlayOneShot (audioClipArray[Random.Range(0,audioClipArray.Length)]);
