Dynamic Footprint System Part 1/2 - Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial

Hey guys, in today's video, I'm going to be showing you how to create a dynamic footprint system in unreal engine 4. In this system you will have a footprint dependant on what surface you are on, for example grass, sand, snow, mud, dirt, etc.
This is part 1 of 2 and we will be setting up the materials, decals and figuring out when and where we want to spawn the footprints.

Oh this is awesome. Thanx again. 🤩

[@MattAspland]

Thanks, that's great to hear! And no problem, always a pleasure! :)

[@abdullahsohail5395]

great video thanks for making it will help me a lot in my project liked your video

[@MattAspland]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. Glad I could help you out! :)

[@789alizaidi]

wow this is amazing

[@MattAspland]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it :)

[@ElectroGamesYT]

👍

[@Jabe_VeX]

Hey, does this work on UE5?

[@OyunZinciri]

Is it possible to make your step in a different color than green in the grass field?

[@MattAspland]

Yeah absolutely, like I said in the video, where I created the material and I set the colour, you can set that to be what ever you like. It can be a different colour or a texture.

[@OyunZinciri]

@@MattAspland thank you so much. You are awesome

[@MattAspland]

@@OyunZinciri No problem, happy to help :)

[@SanneBerkhuizen]

The cool thing is, you can use this code and at the exact same notifies play sound. And while we're doing that, count. Because we all love to look at our stats and say "I've walked x steps in this game"

[@MattAspland]

Yep definitely, in fact I did one on dynamic footstep sounds too :) And that's true, gives a weird sense of accomplishment haha

[@SanneBerkhuizen]

@@MattAspland I know because I already saw it. Actually. This made me think. Maybe in the future you could do a series of tuts all complimenting each other. So people can follow one single playlist and make a simple yet complete video game.

[@MattAspland]

@@SanneBerkhuizen Ah great idea. That's definitely something I'd want to do in the future, maybe a short horror game or something like that.

[@leonardkiefner6460]

Does anybody experience the issue, that the spawned footprints are acutally above the foot, when you look in first person down to the feet? Really unsure how to fix that

[@JessicaMarinaRushie]

I have a feeling that this would make floating footprints on hills? Love it so far though.

[@MattAspland]

Hi, since they are decals they should be placed onto the floor and go with the curve of the terrain too. So on a hill it shouldn't float, it should be placed perfectly on the curvature of the hill. And thank you :)

[@JessicaMarinaRushie]

@@MattAspland Awesome!

[@Torpedo07]

wonderful now I know how my tank in wotblitz can make a trackprint behind her.

[@MattAspland]

That's great to hear! Nice one! :)

[@ak-gi3eu]

do you know how minimap footprints work like pubg

[@MattAspland]

Hi, I'm not quite sure what you mean by minimap footprints? Footprints which show up on the minimap too?

[@ak-gi3eu]

@@MattAspland yess when player comes near then footprints appear on map
