How to change footsteps sound on different floors?

Hello all

I'm making platform game, So how can i change the player footsteps sound when the player above different floor's ( Steel , Grass ....etc)

I have one sound working on all floor's :

Player Skin animation = run

System-Trigger once ------------------Play Steps sound looping

Player Skin animation (Not equal) Run -------------- Stop Steps sound

Any tips?!

Maybe check when collide with the floor type play the sound?

No, not working...

You can try working with triggers, by using sprites in a box shape. Just make different triggers for every type of floor and whenever your player sprite collides with the trigger for a wooden floor for example have an action that plays the footstep sound for a wooden floor.

I group my floor types into families (hard, soft, wood, water, etc) and then simply test if the player is touching an object in one of those families. I then have a subevent in my play walk sound event.

If animation= "running"

------>if player is overlapping "hard", play "hard sounds"

------>if player is overlapping "wood" play "wood sounds"

And so on.

Setting up an example for you

Edit:

Here's an example how it can be done, I used poor sound effects tho. For better results use single step sounds.

You can also tag all the sounds as "footstep" instead of using a tag for each one. But it would delay a bit the sound when touching a different terrain.

Thank's, but your example is not right, when the player stop moving the sound don't stop!!!

slanw You should be able to fix that very quickly by just putting a stop sound action when they are not moving. You should be able to do that much if you have come this far.

Yes, I know that. It was just an quick example to show you how to get different sounds.

As BluePhaze said, you can just add a stop when player is not moving(better than checking for animation IMO).
