Play multiple sounds at the same time

AudioSource alone could only play a single sound, but you can use AudioClip to play multiple sounds at the same time with a single piece of audio data.
Control the number of simultaneous sound effects played

Control the number of simultaneous sound effects played

PlayOneShot allows you to layer sounds, but they tend to be louder because they don't have an upper limit. This time, I will try to control the number of simultaneous playback so that the volume does not become too loud.

BGM

Play, pause, stop, and loop background music

Play, pause, stop, and loop background music

This section describes how to play, pause, stop, and loop background music.

Some BGM loops play the intro part only once and the loop starts in the middle. In this article, we'll try to do that in Unity.

prefab

Create Prefabs to manage a large number of objects

Create Prefabs to manage a large number of objects

Objects can be duplicated and placed, but if you want to change the settings, you must change as many duplicates as you want. If you use a prefab, you can manage it collectively as a copy source setting.
Create an object based on a Prefab from a script

Create an object based on a Prefab from a script

We were able to place objects from the prefab in the initial placement, but I think there are cases where you want to place additional objects during the game. Here I would like to place an object from the prefab by script.

Maps (2D)
