How To Create A Dynamic Footstep System In Unreal Engine (Tutorial)

Hey guys, in today's video I'm going to be showing you how to create a dynamic footstep system in UE5 that changes the SFX playing based upon the material/surface you are walking on.

its always a good day when Matt uploads a new Video

[@SanneBerkhuizen]

That's basically every day.😊

[@chaselee182]

@@SanneBerkhuizen yesss!

[@palvelusmusic]

Awesome tutorial! Was just thinking about adding this to my game yesterday, even recorded sound effects for wood in my room a few hours ago 😂 Perfect timing!

[@CountCoffee]

thanks I’ve been looking for this for months XD

[@PlayRightNow11]

All that Good Stuff

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

awesome matt, AAAA quality

[@kellowattentertainment]

It's also pretty accurate because, it's all handled in the animation itself as the footsteps are taken. Nice tutorial. I actually like this. Not many persons handle it in the animation which is annoying.

[@Uncle_Fred]

Thanks Matt. How about melee weapons making impact material sounds, sparks and decals as your next video? I'm thinking something like Half Life 2.

[@wolf_li]

You can probably make that system following the same steps in the video but put the notify on the attack animations instead of the running anims, or for just object on object the same steps but use a different kind of trace (based on the object shape but slightly bigger) on overlap events instead of anim notifies. To have the sound not continuously playing when an object is on the ground, just plug in a do once before the play sound and have it reset when the overlap ends. For the sparks or decals you can just throw in the "activate/deactivate Niagara effect" or "spawn decal at location" after the play sound, spawning at the impact point of the hit result. Hope this was helpful but if I'm off on something here or there's a better, more efficient way to do it, I encourage the UE "Mattster" here to correct me. 👋 Edit: I just remembered there's a free plugin on the UE marketplace called "Melee Trace" for running traces in the shape of weapons for this kind of situation. 👍

Спасибо, отличный урок ...

[@LWHITTY19]

Hi Matt i like your videos i wanted to ask if its possible to move the player location with a level sequence?

[@taliesinsilvercrow9736]

what about if my game doesn't use a player model and / or the player character doesnt use animations, and / or theres multiple movement modes like sprinting, crouching etc? i tried implementing that but it has weird behaviour

[@micetopia9808]

@Matt Aspland Hey, I've been working on creating animations for a game using Unreal Engine 5.3, and I've encountered an issue when exporting from the Sequencer. I believe I need to convert it into an animation sequence to set up a game animation from the Sequencer, but I'm not entirely sure. Any ideas?

[@untipocualquieraconunnombr1609]

How I do it in first person character

[@PaulaPTeixeira]

That is not applicable for first person char, right? We don’t have the walking animation to coordinate the sounds with. Maybe there is an alternative tho?

[@GAMINGAPOSTLEJ]

just guess where to add notify? lol

[@PaulaPTeixeira]

@@GAMINGAPOSTLEJbut add the notify where? There is no animation for the first person char unless you are using a mesh :/

[@GAMINGAPOSTLEJ]

I thought there was an anim for the arms?

[@luksahd]

(Sneaking When Crouching | Quieter Footsteps - Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial) video is not working with the newer version. Fix: (Report noise event) Instigator should be plugged in with try get pawn owner.

[@flevo]

maybe its time for you to start learning how to code, instead of following tutorials strictly.

[@luksahd]

@@flevo true

[@flevo]

@@luksahd in the least harsh way possible. following tutorials is great, but its not good if you aren't really learning what the tutorials teach. --merely following along won't teach you a lot.

[@GAMINGAPOSTLEJ]

@@flevo--merely following along won't teach you a lot." disagree, people learn in different ways bro

[@flevo]

@@GAMINGAPOSTLEJ you can learn stuff from following along. you can memorize certain things from following along, but when you do what luksahd is doing, (piecing together tutorials instead of doing their own programming) it shows a lack of understanding in the programming that is being created. what im trying to say is, instead of piecing together tutorials, try to learn what does what, and how you can use that to create your own, fitting programming.
