Hi, I am trying to play a random song within a playlist and I can get it to function but I can hear the previously started song fade out and the new song fade in. I'd like to be able to play a random song without hearing the previous song fade out.
Here is the code I am using to play a random song in a playlist:
public static void PlayRandomSongInPlaylist(string playlistName)
{
MasterAudio.StopAllPlaylists();
MasterAudio.StartPlaylist(playlistName);
MasterAudio.TriggerRandomPlaylistClip();
}
I guess the question is how to set or change the current playlist without starting it? Thanks for any help.

Why don't you make the crossfade time zero?

Thanks that worked. I just thought there would be a way to select the playlist without automatically starting a clip. Luckily I don't believe I need the crossfade so it's fine. Thanks.

There's also a ChangePlaylist command, the second parameter can be passed as false to not play the first song (and not play any song yet).

Got it thanks. I just have one other minor issue that would be awesome if you could help with. In my game I made a lot of playlists with individual songs because I was having issues with having lots of songs on one playlist. However, I have an issue where if I start a playlist with one song, then I restart the playlist, the music does not start again. For example, in my game when a cutscene starts, I call StopPlaylist(all), then ChangePlaylist(character_theme), then RandomPlaylistClip(), and the music starts and works fine. But when I re-enter the same cutscene the music stops but fails to start again. How can I restart the music? I tried a bunch of other methods but none of them seem to work. Maybe I'm missing some kind of setting to reset the clip?

How exactly are you restarting the Playlist? Are you using code, Event Sounds, or something else?

I am using code. I'm using this other asset - Dialogue System for Unity. It has integration with Master Audio so I can call Master Audio functions in its sequencer.
Actually I just got it working. I had to explicitly set the Song Id and then call MAPlaylistClip(songid) and it works. I thought it was naming the clip the same name as the playlist automatically because that's what it looked like in the UI but apparently not.

Ok thanks. Dialogue System, I know the author. He's tremendously talented and thorough. We share tips and tricks with each other often. You can't go wrong with his products.

Well, he quit his day job. He's full time Unity programmer. Admirable.
