How do I activate uglyburger0's footstep module?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So, a few months ago, @uglyburger0 made a footstep module that adds very nice footstep sounds to the game. One question I have is, how do I actually activate it and make them work?!
Link to the module: Footstep Module - Roblox

Humanoid.FloorMaterial (roblox.com)
use floor material and check if the player is walking by doing this

Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(Speed)
      if Speed >= 5 then
       Walking = true 
       return
    end
    Walking = false
end)

Do I need to create my own script and copy and paste all of the asset IDs? Seems like he would’ve made it easier to activate than that.

#4

Oh, no. you gotta require the module script.

his example video shows you how to do that/

#5

Uglyburger had made a video documenting it and you could take a look at the basic examples he showed

#6

I saw that video, but he didn’t seem to show how to activate them as a default while walking on the materials, rather he pressed a button to play the sounds.

#7

Then when the humanoid enters the Running humanoidstatetype, toggle a bool to be true, false vice versa. And have a loop playing a random sound at an interval

#8

Is this close to what I should do? If so, what should I add to make the sounds play?

local footsteps = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Footstep)
local character = workspace:WaitForChild(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Walking = nil
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		humanoid.Running:Connect(function(Speed)
			if Speed >= 5 then
				Walking = true
				return
			end
			Walking = false
		end)
	end)
end)

Sorry for the late reply, i was experimenting with the footstep module and made a localscript in startercharacterscripts that play’s it when you move. Try it to see if it works for your case or you could modify it.

local Run = game:GetService("RunService")
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local Char = script.Parent
local Hum: Humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local FootSteps = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FootstepModule"))

local SOUND_DELAY = 0.21

local isRunning = false
local soundPlaying = false

local function CreateSound(id)
	local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
	sound.SoundId = id
	sound.Volume = 2.4
	sound.Parent = workspace
	
	return sound
end

Hum:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	if Hum.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
		isRunning = true
	else
		isRunning = false
	end
end)

Run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if isRunning and not soundPlaying then
		if Hum.FloorMaterial == Enum.Material.Air then return end
		local materialTbl = FootSteps:GetTableFromMaterial(Hum.FloorMaterial)
		
		local soundId = FootSteps:GetRandomSound(materialTbl)
			
		local sound = CreateSound(soundId)
		sound:Play()
		soundPlaying = true
		Debris:AddItem(sound, sound.TimeLength)
		
		task.wait(SOUND_DELAY)
		soundPlaying = false
	end
end)

I’ve hopped off my PC for the night. I’ll try your script tomorrow morning and get back to you if it works or not. Thanks in advance!

#11

That doesn’t seem to be working :confused: it just plays the default plastic footstep sound.
Edit: Found that I renamed the module to just “Footstep” instead of “FootstepModule”. The script is now working! Thanks!

#12

hey, I tried this myself idk how it worked for him? do u know any problems cause i cant find anything

#13

i’m not the guy who scripted the working thing, but do you have any errors or anything? try debugging using print statements to see if parts of the script are working. i put a print under the part where the sound plays saying “footstep sound should be playing”

#14

It does not create the sound in general.

#15

so when you play the game, in the workspace, sounds should be constantly created and destroyed, is that not happening for you?

#16

no
imma remake it. but thanks for the reply

#17

alright if you have any questions feel free to ask
