[RELEASED] Footsteps Scene Designer Pro - Make "Stepped-On" Surfaces Sound The Way They Look

Available Now On The Unity Asset Store!​

Take your game’s production quality to the next level by making terrains and materials sound the way they look!

Don’t make your players settle for generic “clip clop” sounds as they walk across and explore your scene. Increase game immersion with Footsteps Scene Designer Pro quickly and easily by tagging textures and objects so that gravel sounds like gravel, wood sounds like wood, water sounds like water, etc.

Add footsteps to your mobs to give your players audible queues and enhanced situational awareness as enemies approach. Are they coming from the forest or from the lake? Is there one or many? Are they near or far? Now your players will know without even looking!

Three editor customizable scripts and 11 predefined material types allow you to effectively paint sounds onto your terrains using splat maps, tag objects and define water layers; covering all your footstep needs inside and out and across scenes.

Does this work with top down point 'n Click games?

I mean it is not dependent on registering the input from W A S D keys.

 

Saturn Ent,

Great question. It works with Unity's standard Character Controller. Since the character controller doesn't have a point and click interface, you would have to create a script to make that work.

Hope that answers your question.

 

Great, thanks.

i have a question please! Since i am already using a Tag, for the meshes in my scene, how could i use your footsteps feature since it also uses tags, can i have two tags to the same object, is that the logic

Thank you!

 

Great question!

Unfortunately, Unity does not allow you to have more then one tag per object. I am not sure how you are using your custom tags, but if you are not using them as part of collision detection here is a work-around. It's probably easier for me to show you then explain it so I put together this video that takes you through this particular solution. Let me know if this helps.

 

hmm from what i understand the tag is used for meshes with a collider to enable bullets not to pierce the objects when the players shoot them. Thats why i am stuck into using that especific tag to every part of the scenario.

 

OK, so it sounds like you are using a custom tag for some sort of collision detection. So I can better assist you please provide more details using the contact form on my website?
