You can first select the sounds in the content browser and then add the random node. All the sounds will be added to the random node without you having to manually connect each one of them.

Hey Matt! Your tutorials are really easy to follow and you've really helped me with the game i'm making. Thanks!

[@CapJackson]

I LOVE YOU. Thanks for this upload!

[@Rayza-73]

Awesome stuff - thanks so much

[@Dhieen]

Amazing!

[@Psychoooo]

I would love to see how its done on maps that have procedural generation like for the example in the MAWI broadleaf forrest examples. I have no idea how to attach physical materials there since the materials are procedural.

[@bernardklaus1]

Wowza! This is surprisingly simple :) I found the footsteps to be a little loud so I changed the volume but clicking on 'Output' in the Audio Cue window and adjusting the 'Volume Multiplier' under 'Sound' - I am not sure if this is the correct way to adjust the volume but it seemed to work for me!

[@FunWithSmexy]

Your videos are very helpful as always could you do a video on Post Processing Effects like a Gas mask overlay on viewport for first person camera

[@SteveKabbis]

Great tut as usual, but out of curiosity since you did it BTS, Where in the land animation did you put the animnotify to make the sound sync perfectly with the landing?

[@alejandrogomez1698]

Thank very much

[@MusicManiac-vw8nd]

Thank you.... So much

[@AKIMB0Studio]

Awesome video as always. One question though, AI and other players footsteps cannot be heard in the viewport. How would you go about making the cue replicated for those in the vicinity?

[@predator1286]

Thank you for your videos ! There is a question of how to make a point on the map with the help of decals and so that it moves along it logically or on the globe ?

[@Rabbit14]

have you done a video on an inventory system yet? was trying to look through old videos but didn't see anything

[@guibel844]

Sir do you know how to do the Vergil judgement cut end or at least an idea of how to do it, specifically the fragmented camera effect that changes depending on the camera angle. Thank you.

[@peterhall4216]

Nice and clear tutorial. Though I have a question - how would this work with a blend space? I have a 2D blend space for directional movement (also learned from another tutorial of yours).

[@potcolegend2]

So long as you put the notifys in the animations it doesnt matter if you're using a blendspace, the sounds will play regardless.

[@jimhudson6505]

Thanks for this, one question, I have a startup level with a main menu, when this level loads the footsteps are playing with no player, is there any way to prevent this?

[@ZimMabu_GameDev.]

thanks

[@mahmoodhafez1496]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[@wesss9353]

Quinn walks by Is anybody there - Portal turret

[@teeege]

Does this work as a 2D sound or can other players hear it if i build this in a multiplayer game?

[@jasmyn1258]

I've followed these exact steps, and for some reason my footsteps audio keeps playing even after my character has stopped walking/running. Do you know why this happens? I've followed other audio tutorials as well and the same thing keeps happening.

[@Hussain.Jebali]

Hello sir Can we use it in First person Thank you

[@Sky-hl8iw]

how to use it in sequencer?

[@789alizaidi]

can you please build a feature where enemies can detect us based on sound volume ? just like it happens in GTA where enemies detect the player if sound is greater

[@warfighter4129]

To add to this perhaps a stealth system where an Ai can only hear the player walking if theyre not crouching.

[@educate3d]

@@warfighter4129 adding that is as easy as checking if the player is crouching and running a branch to play or not play the footstep sounds

[@warfighter4129]

@@educate3d oh damn how didnt I think of that! Haha good idea bro!

[@MidnightJake1]

I do believe he did a video not quite on the feature, but he talked about it briefly in an overview sort.

[@jol0973]

@@educate3d would you use an interface for that or cast to player? Or use an object reference inside the enemy? I suck.

[@fredmansenberg8466]

I have a question, how do I credit them before using it?

[@wickwill6628]

How would you do this when you dont have any animations for your character? I only have a capsule

[@dreambadger]

Maybe you could just add some looping sound that plays on start or when you hold a movement key

[@NikomaGrob]

I have this done on all the AI, but I hear every AI walking no matter how far they are. How can I fix such a thing? I want to ONLY hear the AI when they get closer to me. not when they are a kilometer away

[@daniel6sharma]

For some reason in first person it does not play after 3 footsteps which is how long 1 cycle of animation is for me. works fine in the third person animation

[@chasecreange4449]

Same here. Did you ever figure this out?

[@goomduy]

Also same here, works fine in third person but in fps it stops after four steps.

[@EvilBoyce]

same problem here

[@incllasic9494]

same someone find out how to fix it?

[@jimhudson6505]

Dooes your blend file include Jogging or running? If you haven't set notification sounds on those, that can produce what your expreiencing.

[@inrapture]

this is good . but walking on diffrent materials like leafs snow wood iron and ..... ?

[@MartKart8]

Does anyone know how to get a projectile to hurt the player character, in a first-person character, as when I face the projectile, I'm able to take damage, yet if I face sideways or turn my back to the projectile it never hurts the player. in Third person the projectile always damages and explodes, and is somehow easier to use in Third person, yet is harder in First Person?

[@verence333]

How about this? Create a cylindrical collider around your character to "protect" him; any projectile colliding with that cylinder would not damage the player. Then, add another collider (a box this time) only in the front of the character; any projectile colliding with this box would damage the character.

[@AM-qv2ed]

it's shows the files are private and i can not import it

[@MartKart8]

How would this work exactly in a first-person character, because the model is a pair of arms. I'm guessing it's the same thing but a lot harder?

[@EladG_]

imagine where each foot is in your arms animation then do what he did

[@WALLACEraps]

No, you just add the footstep sounds around the same time Matt does in the video for your FPS character walking animation. It doesn't matter if the mesh has legs or not, it's about playing the sound effect at the right time during the animation.

[@MartKart8]

@@EladG_ I'll try, it will probably sound off, but I'll try.

[@educate3d]

@@MartKart8 the footstep sounds should be based on how fast the character is walking. it should never sound off unless your uploading one loop of the sound. you should have different sounding steps then just cycle through them with each step

[@beastNick7713]

when i walk my sound is ok but after a while it disappears and when i stop and walk again it starts to play the sound again but why does it stop?

[@beastNick7713]

@Totto- no unfortunately

[@beastNick7713]

@Totto- ty man

[@brady9621]

Help the sound keeps playing when idle

[@bernardklaus1]

I know you wrote this a year ago but make sure you have 'looping' turned off in the audio cue window, that might help.

[@Stubbypig23]

The Minecraft sounds

[@MessmanRR]

in firstperson tho?

[@Mw2Dagger]

I'm trying this in first person. The only issue is it won't loop the sounds if you keep running. Any idea?

[@MessmanRR]

@@Mw2Dagger no idea lol
