Play Delayed

What it does: Starts playing the choosen sound after the given amount of time and returns an AudioError (see Possible Errors), showing wheter and how playing the sound after the given amount of time failed.

Possible Errors:

• DOES_NOT_EXIST
• MISSING_WRAPPER
• MISSING_SOURCE
• MISSING_CLIP

How to call it:

• SoundName is the name we have given the sound we want to play after the given amount of time
• Delay is the time after which we want to start playing the sound.
• Child is the ChildType that we want to call this method on

string soundName = "SoundName";
float delay = 5f;
ChildType child = ChildType.PARENT;

AudioError err = am.PlayDelayed(soundName, delay, child);
if (err != AudioError.OK) {
    Debug.Log("Playing sound called: " + soundName + " after " + delay.ToString("0.00") + " seconds failed with error id: " + err);
}
else {
    Debug.Log("Playing sound called: " + soundName + " after " + delay.ToString("0.00") + " seconds succesfull");
}

Alternatively you can call the methods with less paramters as some of them have default arguments.

string soundName = "SoundName";
float delay = 5f;

AudioError err = am.PlayDelayed(soundName, delay);
if (err != AudioError.OK) {
    Debug.Log("Playing sound called: " + soundName + " after " + delay.ToString("0.00") + " seconds failed with error id: " + err);
}
else {
    Debug.Log("Playing sound called: " + soundName + " after " + delay.ToString("0.00") + " seconds succesfull");
}

When to use it: When you want to play a sound after a given delay time instead of directly when the method is called.
