Step 2.5 - Audio Manager

Adding the Audio Manager

Add the "AK_AudioManager" from the prefabs folder or the "Adventure_Kit_Managers" pack to add all to the hierarchy. You can add the "AK_AudioManager" script to an empty gameobject if you want to start fresh.

Adding more elements / tracks to the Audio Manager

Adding more audio clips: On the Audio Manager you can increment the "Size" value of the manager array to add a new element so you can add more 2D sounds.

How to reference the Audio Manager?

//Add this namespace to the top of the script to reference the adventure kit
using AdventurePuzzleKit;

//How to play a sound using the name of your audio from the array
AKAudioManager.instance.Play("YourAudioClip");

//How to stop playing a specific audio clip
AKAudioManager.instance.StopPlaying("YourAudioClip");

NOTE: Most Systems will now have variables which allow you to change audio names in the inspector without going into code but this is how you would do it manually!
