I want to thank you for all of your tutorials because I used to feel like I couldn't do anything and now I feel like a pro! You really show how to do something but make sure your videos are quick and easy. Thx :D
Thanks for the tutorial, if there is anyone who can't hear any footsteps don't forget to set the Footstep Interval (or whatever you named it) variable to a higher value than 0. I forgot to do that, so I spent at least half an hour trying to figure out what was wrong :)
Hi. Just happened to find your channel a day ago, and in that time, I have been able to successfully add a number of features into my project i'm doing which I wasn't quite sure how to approach all because of your videos i've been burning through. Nice work. Very easy to follow and understand. Definitely earned a sub.
I can already tell how helpful your tutorials will be for my exam! Thank you for working hard and helping many like me who struggles to understand coding but, really wants to make cool things! Keep the good work going!
That's great to hear! It's always my pleasure to help out, if there's anything you need, just ask. I'm always happy to help :) Thanks for your support!
@@MattAspland This worked great! but when the sound switches from say grass to concrete and then I leave concrete and go back onto grass the concrete footsteps stay and it doesn't automatically switch back to the right sound cue? It will continue to play concrete steps even on grass?
Very useful, thanks! But I recommend to implement the tracing function into a timer so it does not trace a line every frame, which can save performance.

great tutorial but.... at 7:16, this vector - vector value was in my case complete bug that I was trying to fix for days but did not know where was the problem, because if I set this vector to 150, footsteps works OK, but if I start to step on weirder shape surfaces like stairs, it bugs and I can no longer hear the footsteps anymore and need to restart the game, so if that helps anyone, just crank the number to like 1000 and it works good
Thank you for the help, Just one thing i would like to ask. And that is How would you change the sound of physical material when you sprint on the same surface?
Doesn't work for me. It only works when I assign a specific sound cue to the "Play sound at location" node. But then it just plays the same sound cue on all of the surfaces, completely ignoring the code that checks for the physical surface type.
@@ZWOGs there's a way but it's kinda a hack way to do it and it's limited to 2 auto layers only, and it's heavy on performance with a lot of calculations ..im waiting for the new version of chaos that should make it possible to use something called physical material mask, that makes it possible to do something similar to the video you posted but working with auto materials. But damn I've been waiting for that over a year and unreal just keeps updating everything else but that it seems 😞
@@Mj3DArts Wow! That is kinda crazy to think that it can do all of these crazy advanced things, but then have difficulty with audio for materials lol. Guess my audio will have to be added in post then haha. Thanks for the heads up!
What would be the best way to change the interval of the footstep sounds when increasing/decreasing the player walk speed like when sprinting or crouching?
Hey, yet another super helpful video man, these are great. I've got a question though and need some advice. Do you know if it possible to have multiple physical materials assigned to one material and if so, how would we do that? I've set up a 'ground' material to be able to paint with 2 different textures with this one material. I'm using vertex colour for input data and a lerp to go between two textures, such as grass and mud. So if I mesh-paint with left click I paint 'grass' and if I hold shift I paint with 'mud' on any mesh that has the 'ground' material. I've also set up 2 sound-ques that correspond to the grass and mud physical materials. However, the material only has one physical material slot. So if I assign the physical material as 'grass' the mud texture I paint onto the mesh will never play the mud sound because I'm not sure how to include the 'mud' physical material. Any advice would be super apricated!
Hey, did you follow the previous tutorial for it as well? If so, make sure that out of the get velocity off of the Z, you have == 0. And that goes into an AND Boolean.
Does anyone know if I need to change the project settings in order for the raytracing to work? The number I'm subtracting from the Z location of the VR Pawn should be more than enough for the line to hit the ground and check for physics, but my sounds are not changing.
Hey yeah it should, I have a better video for third person however. It is linked in the description, but I'll leave it here too :) th-cam.com/video/1TTey8wUUvU/w-d-xo.html
So I've got a question, so we run the check physics mat off the moveforward and moveright event it does the do once and all that. However when I set up a shift to run and change the movement speed and the interval on the foot step sound, the value doesn't update unless I come to a complete stop and then hold the run button and start moving. I'm struggling a bit to think how I can get the step interval to be updating in the do once section if I'm already moving.
Hey mate, that's a good point yep. What we could maybe do is when we set the interval, we also go into the "Reset" of the DoOnce, so that it then redoes it once again with the new value. I think this may work, let me know how it goes :)
@@MattAspland Yep works perfectly! Just set a custom event "AdjustStepInt" tied that to the update and whenever I change the variable in my crouch or sprint button inputs I call the event.
It works fine with and without running on the standard surface but on grass or wood my footsteps go all carzy and im lost right now does anyone know why this happens? and when I jump the sound only plays every 2 times no matter how long I wait
Hey, it should be the same as for your character. You can use "Play Anim Montage" when you want it to happen, making sure you have "Slot_Default_Slot" in the AI's animation blueprint.
everything works, but the only problem I found, is that sometimes when you jump into different surface, it still makes one extra footstep sound of the previous. For example I'm standin in the water and jumping on the grass, but still hearing one extra sound of water. Have anyone noticed that?
I did the previous tutorial and can hear only my default sound, I added the nodes from this tutorial and did everything else exactly as was shown and the default footsteps still play. Anybody got any ideas?
I don't know if you ever got it to work, but doubling my capsule half height and subtracting that number from the 'z' in the get actor location worked for me
Hey Matt, great tutorial. I'm having a problem though with the Switch on EPhysicalSurface... my sound effects aren't switching from surface to surface. The footsteps that play are just the ones set in the fist video in the Play Sound at Location node. Do you know what could be causing this? Thanks
I don't know if you ever got it to work, but doubling my capsule half height and subtracting that number from the 'z' in the get actor location worked for me
@@farizazmir5228 My game takes place outside more than it does inside, so I set the default sound to be a footsteps on dirt sound effect … that way the game defaults to dirt footsteps when it doesn’t know which sound to play. I’m having a hard time describing it but as long as you put something in that default slot I think you will be okay
I want to thank you for all of your tutorials because I used to feel like I couldn't do anything and now I feel like a pro! You really show how to do something but make sure your videos are quick and easy. Thx :D
its actually crazy how much stuff i look up and you have a video for, i appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos man!

I have no idea what you mean
I increased it to 1k but then also can't hear the sound tf an using ue5
another solid tutorial! got it working in VR as well. good job, keep them coming!
What did you have to change, if anything, to get it working in VR?

When you realize the grass sound effect is from Minecraft
Haha, at first I thought it was just very similar lol
Great tutorial, thanks!!!
A HUGE thanks for that tutorial ^_^
Thank you for the help, Just one thing i would like to ask. And that is How would you change the sound of physical material when you sprint on the same surface?
Play a different audio asset based on the characters speed.
Thank you Matt ;)
No problem Alex, any time :)
i need help how do i make the sounds faster when i run?
Materia Domain - Defferet Decal don't work phys material, how to do it ? Thx !
ah yes minecraft grass sound xD great tutorial as always

But how can you add footstep/splashing sounds on water
Doesn't work for me.
It only works when I assign a specific sound cue to the "Play sound at location" node. But then it just plays the same sound cue on all of the surfaces, completely ignoring the code that checks for the physical surface type.

i also add water :D thanks for the tutorial

How did you get it to call the event? i have a simple IA_Move however i cannot seem to get it to work unless i stop moving and start moving again.
can you make a tutorial on this--
when the boll rolls that make sound of rolling... and when it will hit With something.
please

But please make this first 🥰🥰
i would just play a rolling sound when the ball moves. (im not the best)
Great video matt I final got round to doing this I have a issue with sound it only works on 1 material the other 2 doesn't work any suggestions
but can you make a dynamic footstep system working on a auto landscape with layerblends etc??
@@ZWOGs That's not an auto material landscape material though, its just a normal layer blend material but thanks anyway
