Our first step in playing sound effects will be to create the C# script and name it SFX_Manager. Next, we will need a few variables; add these to your script:

public float sfxVolume = 1.00f;
public AudioClip Run, Spell, Strike;
public GameObject RunSource;

The first variable should look familiar by now. We will use it for the volume. Next, we create a few audio clips. For this chapter, we will use three specific sound effects for testing purposes. The last variable is a GameObject that will be used to play the running sound effect. Next, let's assign the volume of our sound effects; add this to your Start function:

public void Start()
{
  audio.volume = sfxVolume;
}

Now that we have the volume established, let's add the functions to play our sounds:

public void Run()
{
  if(!RunSource.audio.isPlaying)
  {
    RunSource.audio.clip = Run;
    RunSource.audio.Play();
  }
}

public void Spell()
{
  audio.clip = Spell;
  audio.Play();
}
  
public void Strike()
{
  audio.clip = Strike;
  audio.Play();
}

These functions will be the ones you will call to play a sound effect. To play the run sound effect as a looping sound, we check to make sure that the sound has played out before we play it again. This gives the illusion of a looping sound effect. To play the rest of the sounds, we just assign the clip property and play it.
