Step Sound Help

Question

Hi!

I have been trying to make some simple step sounds for my game. I have tried IEnumerator, loops but nothing have worked!

This is a simple cut version of the script. It still contains the more important things that you need to know.

 void Start () {
     StartCoroutine(StepSounds());
 }

 
 IEnumerator StepSounds(){
     while (step == true) {
         audio.PlayOneShot(stepSounds[Random.Range(0, stepSounds.Length)]);
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(nextStepSound);
     }
 }

Please tell me what is wrong and what I need to do!

And please post your answer in C#.

Thanks

A loop is not the proper solution for footstep sounds. You should be using the Update method or FixedUpdate method and checking for the criteria there.

 void Update()
 {
     if (someCondition)
     {
         audio.PlayOneShot(stepSounds[Random.Range(0, stepSounds.Length)]);
         someCondition = false;
     }
 }

This just plays the sound like 1000 times each second. This results in some really weird sounds

This is how I have my activation of the step bool.

 if (Input.GetButton ("Forward")) {
                 Vector3 forward = transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward) * speed;
                 cc.$$anonymous$$ove (forward * Time.deltaTime);
                 anim.SetBool("RunForward", true);
                 anim.SetBool("RunBackwards", false);
                 anim.SetBool("RunRight", false);
                 anim.SetBool("RunLeft", false);
                 step = true;
             }

The issue is how you are setting the boolean then. GetButton will keep evaulating to true as long as the button is down. That's why you keep hearing it. Input.GetButtonDown/GetButtonUp are probably what you should be using.
