Play random sound from an array in Swift 3

Question

I have a single sound file playing at the start of my game:

    // Play the start sound:
    self.run(SKAction.playSoundFileNamed("Sound/StartGame.aif", waitForCompletion: false))

How do I get a random single sound file from an array to play instead?

Try this:

let soundNames = ["soundName1", "soundName2", "soundName3"]
let randomSoundName = soundNames[Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(soundNames.count)))]

let randomSound = self.run(SKAction.playSoundFileNamed(randomSoundName, waitForCompletion: false))

Create a array containing all the music file names eg.Sound/StartGame.aif and pick one randomly when you need to play sound.

First of all, you have to add all sound name in the array and get the random name of sound from the array.

let arrSound = ["Sound/StartGame.aif","Sound/StartGame2.aif"]

Get the random name of sound.

let randomSound = arrSound[Int(arc4random_uniform(arrSound.count))]

self.run(SKAction.playSoundFileNamed(randomSound, waitForCompletion: false))
