This asset will allow you to add footsteps to your character and sound/particle effects to objects. It’s the simplest & easiest way to bring life to your project with the least amount of work.

?? Update 1.5 ??

Includes:

• Crouch & Crawl locomotion with (overhead surface checks)
• Gravel, Wood, Carpet, Metal surfaces
• Ability to use forward/backward tracing for ‘climbing footsteps’
• Simplification of entire system: Now you just hit ‘+’ button, add sounds, particles, bone names
• Excess variables have been removed, given detailed tool tips, and emojis
• Default IK works
• No need for sockets! You still can use them, but it’ll work with default bones
• Niagara particles have collision

Q: What does this pack come with?

A: By default, this comes with sounds and particles (Cascade & Niagara) for; default, grass, dirt, water, snow, carpet, metal, wood, and stone surfaces

Q: How hard is this to use for a beginner?

A: This will be the easiest asset for anyone to use. Add the component(s) and either use the animation BP from the asset, or yours by adding notifies to your animations

Q: How hard is it to add this to my project?

A: It’s incredibly easy. You can get this integrated into your project within a minute

?? Footsteps can be added in 3 steps

1. Add component to character
2. Add notifies to your animation

?? Object audio & vfx can be done in 1 step

1. Add component to object

Q: Can I use particles & sounds from other packs?

A: Absolutely. The documentation has easy, simple steps showing you how to do it

Q: Can I use animations from other packs?

A: Definitely. You just need to add the notify markers, animation name into the array, and ensure animation uses same skeleton

Q: How does this all work?

A: I basically built the footstep system to check the name of the animation that’s playing. If a word in the name of the animation falls within the array for “walk,” or “run,” then the respective particle & audio will spawn. The system will then intelligently change the size of the particle. The object system was made so that anything that’s not a character will just work out of the box and spawn particles & sounds as it bounces into things

Q: I have a question not listed here.

*My other asset, The Immersive Template, will eventually have a minimal version of this eventually. It currently contains an inferior prototype of this not built out in a component and uses very old code from the current version. This asset will have it’s own features added and built upon*
