Shuffle playlist

[lost swallow]

Give me one second @opal trail

[opal trail]

okay

[lost swallow]

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

[RequireComponent(typeof(AudioSource))]
public class Radio : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private AudioClip[] songs;

    private AudioSource player;
    private AudioClip songPlaying;
    private float songStartedAt;

    void Start()
    {
        player = GetComponent<AudioSource>();

        // Start playing
        PlayNewSong();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Time.time - songStartedAt >= songPlaying.length)
        {
            // The song has ended. Pick new song
            PlayNewSong();
        }
    }

    void PlayNewSong()
    {
        // Pick a song at random (shuffle)
        songPlaying = songs[Random.Range(0, songs.Length - 1)];

        songStartedAt = Time.time;
        player.clip = songPlaying;
        player.Play();
    }
}

I haven't tested it

But it should work

Wait

Add this: [RequireComponent(typeof(AudioSource))]

I updated the code

1. Make a script called: "Radio"
2. Paste the code
3. Assign the script to an empty game object
4. Download the songs you want as MP3 files
5. Import the songs into your assets
6. Add the MP3 files to the songs array

P.S. Make sure that there is an AudioListener in your scene (This is automatically added to the main camera, but if you don't hear anything, check this)

[opal trail]

Can you make like the full script

[lost swallow]

That's it

[opal trail]

You said add this

[lost swallow]

Yeah, I edited the code

You can copy it now

[opal trail]

Oh okay i will test it and get back to you

[lost swallow]

@velvet nest Step-by-step

[opal trail]

Got it

[velvet nest]

wrong ping lmao

[lost swallow]

I am so sorry

[velvet nest]

nah its fine

i find it funny

[lost swallow]

Ahah, that's good

I'll eat now, so I might not answer right away

Btw, if your playlist has like 200 songs, you probably want to automate the download process. This could be done using Python. Let me know if you need help

[opal trail]

okay

but if i add them to the script i need to do that like one by one?

and can you download spotify plailists

[opal trail]

Playlists?

@lost swallow

[lost swallow]

Yes

[lost swallow]

I don't think so

Are the songs on youtube?

If so, you can change the link to youtubepp.com and download it from there

Let me show you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ - Base link
https://www.youtubepp.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ - With "pp"

[opal trail]

I know that hack

😀

Nice rick roll 😂

[lost swallow]

Ahah thank you

[opal trail]

But you can send the python script/file

[lost swallow]

I haven't made it

There is this button on spotify

I don't know where they are saved or what format

Sadly this doesn't work

https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-download/download-multiple-youtube-videos-to-mp3.html

[opal trail]

Okey thanks

Also is there a way in unity to make a button so i can adjust the volume in a game

[lost swallow]

Yes

There are many tutorials out there

Did you get it to work? The .cs script, I mean

[opal trail]

Haven’t tested it yet

[lost swallow]

Alright

There is a small chance that the same song will be played twice in a row. Is that okay, or do you want me to change that? It will only take a minute.

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

[RequireComponent(typeof(AudioSource))]
public class Radio : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private List<AudioClip> songs;

    private AudioSource player;
    private AudioClip songPlaying;
    private float songStartedAt;

    void Start()
    {
        player = GetComponent<AudioSource>();

        // Start playing
        PlayNewSong();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Time.time - songStartedAt >= songPlaying.length)
        {
            // The song has ended. Pick new song
            PlayNewSong();
        }
    }

    void PlayNewSong()
    {
        // Pick a song at random (shuffle), excluding the last element in the song list
        int nextSong = Random.Range(0, songs.Count - 2);
        songPlaying = songs[nextSong];
        // Remove the song from wherever in the list it is
        songs.Remove(songs[nextSong]);
        // Add the song back at the end of the list
        songs.Add(songPlaying);

        songStartedAt = Time.time;
        player.clip = songPlaying;
        player.Play();
    }
}
``` Too late, now I've done it

[opal trail]

Haha okay thanks a lot

[lost swallow]

Wait, I'm actually not sure that the new one works. Test it

[opal trail]

Okey

Cant rn but will let you know soon

[opal trail]

i started the view in unity and the first verison worked

[lost swallow]

Great!

Just keep in mind that it picks completely randomly every time, so theoretically the same song could be played 100 times in a row

[opal trail]

jep

also when i pressed play then i saw what the camera was seeing but everything else was just black_

[lost swallow]

?

What do you mean?

[lost swallow]

"jep"? Where are you from?

[opal trail]

I am from Estonia

Where you from

[lost swallow]

Denmark

We say "jep" too

[opal trail]

Oh okay

Hahah

[lost swallow]

?

[opal trail]

Like where all the files and components are

It was just black

[lost swallow]

Screenshot

[opal trail]

And even if i did ctrls shift p to pause it still happend

[lost swallow]

SCREENSHOT pls

Fn + Prt Scr

or Win + Shift + S

[opal trail]

Not behind my pc rn but exactly like this

[lost swallow]

Okay, that is weird

Relaunch Unity

[opal trail]

Yeah that worked

[lost swallow]

What Unity version are you on?

[opal trail]

I was just wondering if there was a fix

The latest

Not the beta

[lost swallow]

ah alright

[opal trail]

The 2021 something

[lost swallow]

Idk if that happens often. There is a fatal bug in my 2021 installation, so I just stick with the 2020 one

[opal trail]

But i tried the slider thing from youtube and that set it like in the map but i want it to be on the screen in the exact spot at all times how to do that?

Oh okay

[lost swallow]

Okay, like this

[opal trail]

Wym

[lost swallow]

One second sry

[opal trail]

No worries

[lost swallow]

On the slider's rect transform component

Click the anchor thing

The square

[opal trail]

Oh okay

And when i need to write scripts can i use note pad?

[lost swallow]

Then select fx. the upper left one in the 3x3 area to make it stay in the same spot in the top left corner

[lost swallow]

Don't

[opal trail]

Okay

[lost swallow]

But technically yeah

It just sucks

[opal trail]

What should i use then

[lost swallow]

I use Visual Studio Community 2019 (although it is very old). Most people I talk to recommend Visual Studio Code

[opal trail]

I have it but cant get it to work

[lost swallow]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/set-your-default-script-editor-ide

[opal trail]

It just black screens

[lost swallow]

Which one?

Actually don't tell me. I can't help you with that

Sorry

I have 0 experience regarding that

[opal trail]

But do you have any other recommendations

[lost swallow]

Than vs code??

[opal trail]

Jep

[lost swallow]

Some people use Rider by JetBrains

[opal trail]

Okay thanks

Will try that

[lost swallow]

Have you tried both vs community and vs code?

[opal trail]

Not sure

[lost swallow]

This is where you can check what IDE you have selected

[lost swallow]

But if Unity black screens, the IDE is probably not the issue

It might be your Unity installation

I would ask in #💻┃unity-talk

[opal trail]

okay

i dont use the play feature at all so it really doesnt matter

[lost swallow]

Really?

[opal trail]

yeah i make maps for a bmx game so i only add mesh collider and lighting in unity

its like a mod map

i only have one scene

this is what i get when i open the script from unity to change it

in vs

[lost swallow]

Ahhh. Ask in #archived-code-general

[opal trail]

okay

but could you write me the script for the slider_

?

[lost swallow]

I am going to bed now, sry

[opal trail]

oh okay no worries you have already been super helpful

thanks

[lost swallow]

Haven't slept in 34 hours

[opal trail]

wow thats a long time

[lost swallow]

You're welcome 😊 I hope you figure it out

[opal trail]

i hope so too 🙂

[lost swallow]

Yeah, it's bad. I studied for an exam the whole night 💤

[opal trail]

okay
