Trying to add walking sound effects into my game
Hey, so I am trying to add footsteps when I walk in my game, and every walking script that I have tried to implement so far has failed.
Here is my controller script (I use the rigidbodyfirstpersoncontroller script from the unity assets, I don't know if that is still reliable)
using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;
namespace UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson
{
[RequireComponent(typeof (Rigidbody))]
[RequireComponent(typeof (CapsuleCollider))]
public class RigidbodyFirstPersonController : MonoBehaviour
{
[Serializable]
public class MovementSettings
{
public float ForwardSpeed = 8.0f; // Speed when walking forward
public float BackwardSpeed = 4.0f; // Speed when walking backwards
public float StrafeSpeed = 4.0f; // Speed when walking sideways
public float RunMultiplier = 2.0f; // Speed when sprinting
public KeyCode RunKey = KeyCode.LeftShift;
public float JumpForce = 30f;
public AnimationCurve SlopeCurveModifier = new AnimationCurve(new Keyframe(-90.0f, 1.0f), new Keyframe(0.0f, 1.0f), new Keyframe(90.0f, 0.0f));
[HideInInspector] public float CurrentTargetSpeed = 8f;
#if !MOBILE_INPUT
private bool m_Running;
#endif
public void UpdateDesiredTargetSpeed(Vector2 input)
{
if (input == Vector2.zero) return;
if (input.x > 0 || input.x < 0)
{
//strafe
CurrentTargetSpeed = StrafeSpeed;
}
if (input.y < 0)
{
//backwards
CurrentTargetSpeed = BackwardSpeed;
}
if (input.y > 0)
{
//forwards
//handled last as if strafing and moving forward at the same time forwards speed should take precedence
CurrentTargetSpeed = ForwardSpeed;
}
#if !MOBILE_INPUT
if (Input.GetKey(RunKey))
{
CurrentTargetSpeed *= RunMultiplier;
m_Running = true;
}
else
{
m_Running = false;
}
#endif
}
#if !MOBILE_INPUT
public bool Running
{
get { return m_Running; }
}
#endif
}
[Serializable]
public class AdvancedSettings
{
public float groundCheckDistance = 0.01f; // distance for checking if the controller is grounded ( 0.01f seems to work best for this )
public float stickToGroundHelperDistance = 0.5f; // stops the character
public float slowDownRate = 20f; // rate at which the controller comes to a stop when there is no input
public bool airControl; // can the user control the direction that is being moved in the air
[Tooltip("set it to 0.1 or more if you get stuck in wall")]
public float shellOffset; //reduce the radius by that ratio to avoid getting stuck in wall (a value of 0.1f is nice)

}
private void StickToGroundHelper()
{
RaycastHit hitInfo;
if (Physics.SphereCast(transform.position, m_Capsule.radius * (1.0f - advancedSettings.shellOffset), Vector3.down, out hitInfo,
((m_Capsule.height/2f) - m_Capsule.radius) +

{
if (Mathf.Abs(Vector3.Angle(hitInfo.normal, Vector3.up)) < 85f)
{

}
}
}
private Vector2 GetInput()
{
Vector2 input = new Vector2
{
x = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Horizontal"),
y = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Vertical")
};
movementSettings.UpdateDesiredTargetSpeed(input);
return input;
}
private void RotateView()
{
//avoids the mouse looking if the game is effectively paused
if (Mathf.Abs(Time.timeScale) < float.Epsilon) return;
// get the rotation before it's changed
float oldYRotation = transform.eulerAngles.y;
mouseLook.LookRotation (transform, cam.transform);
if (m_IsGrounded || advancedSettings.airControl)
{
// Rotate the rigidbody velocity to match the new direction that the character is looking
Quaternion velRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(transform.eulerAngles.y - oldYRotation, Vector3.up);
m_RigidBody.velocity = velRotation*m_RigidBody.velocity;
}
}
/// sphere cast down just beyond the bottom of the capsule to see if the capsule is colliding round the bottom
private void GroundCheck()
{
m_PreviouslyGrounded = m_IsGrounded;
RaycastHit hitInfo;
if (Physics.SphereCast(transform.position, m_Capsule.radius * (1.0f - advancedSettings.shellOffset), Vector3.down, out hitInfo,
((m_Capsule.height/2f) - m_Capsule.radius) + advancedSettings.groundCheckDistance, Physics.AllLayers, QueryTriggerInteraction.Ignore))
{
m_IsGrounded = true;
m_GroundContactNormal = hitInfo.normal;
}
else
{
m_IsGrounded = false;
m_GroundContactNormal = Vector3.up;
}
if (!m_PreviouslyGrounded && m_IsGrounded && m_Jumping)
{
m_Jumping = false;
}
}
}
}
And here is my footstep sound script, which is a separate C# script
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Footsteps : MonoBehaviour {
CharacterController cc;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
cc = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if(cc.isGrounded == true && cc.velocity.magnitude > 2f && GetComponent<AudioSource>().isPlaying == false)
{
GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
}
}
}
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Make a public void called WalkSound. In WalkSound play the footstep sound. In the animation, whenever the character takes a step, add an animation event that calls WalkSound.
