I want to trigger a playlist's song to play, by ID, but there's a decent chance the song might already be playing.
Behaviour seems to be if retriggering a song, it'll play it again from the start. If it's already playing, then just do nothing.
I can't find a clean way to do this without referring to filenames of the PlaylistControllers current audio clip, but that's no good - our audio is still a work-in-progress so filenames keep changing.
Sorry if I've missed something super basic here!
public string loadSongAtStartup;
void Start() {
bool songIsAlreadyPlaying = [something???];
if (!songIsAlreadyPlaying) {
MasterAudio.TriggerPlaylistClip(loadSongAtStartup);
}
}
Cheers.

Detect the song already playing with:
var currentClip = PlaylistController.Instances[0].ActiveAudioSource.clip;
var songIsAlreadyPlaying = currentClip != null && currentClip.name == "song name";
Yes you'll need to use the clip's name for this.

Could you incorporate this into the EventSound component?
Seems a shame to have to write a custom script (and lose the sound trigger functionality) just to check if a clip is already playing in the playlist
- maybe a simple option below 'Retrigger Limit Mode', e.g. Simple tickbox: Retrigger if playing.
Or am I missing something ?(apologies, just bought the asset and am a completely newbie)

Please take a screen shot of where you'd like it to appear with everything else already set up. |

Just a simple Trigger Enter, as per your video tutorial:  |

I was about to code this, but surprising it already works the way you want, by default.

Hi - just bumped into this same problem but didn't find a way to handle it without scripting.
From the dev reply i understood that it would be possible to not trigger a playlist item if it's already playing, but i didn't find a way to do this in the Event Sound component.
A solution suggested by baroquedub would be quite handy, adding a simple tickbox "Retrigger if playing", which would make it possible to not trigger an item if it's already playing.

You could always use Visual Scripts, like Playmaker or Bolt, to perform the check. Most people who don't write code use something like that.
