Unity3D syncing audio with object position












0














I have a simple board game where tokens get moved from square to square. I am using a coroutine to move the tokens. It does something like below



IEnumerator MoveTokenCoRoutine(int steps)
{

while (steps > 0)
{
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPos, Time.deltaTime * speed);
yield return null;
--steps;
}

}


The clip is a sliding sound for 2 seconds.



Steps, is how many squares a token should move using Lerp. The only time I could get it synced is with below parameters.



1) Set the lerp speed to 10 which is default speed i use to move
2) Step = 1 (move one square)
3) Call Play() just before while



With this scenario movement and sound effect stay pretty much in sync.



However, if steps get more than 1 and I put the Play() inside loop it just plays one time and stops. But the token keeps moving until while ends.



What approaches do I have to keep this in sync?

          There is not much salvagable from your code, unfortunately.



          A better working variant would look like this:



          IEnumerator MoveTokenCoRoutine()
          {
          float currentTime=0.0f; // note: NOT in seconds, 1.0f = end of sound sample
          Vector3 oldPosition = transform.position;
          float startTime = Time.time;
          while (currentTime < 1.0f) {
          currentTime = (Time.time - startTime)/ DurationInSeconds ;
          transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(oldPosition, newPos, currentTime );
          yield return null;
          }
          }


          Required variables:





          • Vector3 newPos Target position at animation end


          • float DurationInSeconds Length of the sound sample in seconds
