I’m working on a footstep system. All is going rather well except for a rather major issue where the Sound.Playing state for my footsteps is seemingly randomly set to false. The only way to undo this in playtesting mode is to jump.
Here’s the server script that handles the majority of the footsteps.
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local running = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("running")
local notrunning = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("notrunning")
local footstepsModule = require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("FootstepModule"))
local runservice = game:GetService("RunService")
cooldown = .38
local function footstepsplayingdetect(footsteps)
runservice.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
return footsteps.Playing ~= true and footsteps.Playing == false
end)
end
local function footstepsplayingfix(footsteps)
if footstepsplayingdetect(footsteps) then
footsteps.Playing = true
end
end
local function check_movement(humanoid)
return humanoid.WalkSpeed > 0 and humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 and humanoid.FloorMaterial ~= Enum.Material.Air
end
local function isrunning(running, notrunning)
notrunning.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
cooldown = .38
end)
running.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
cooldown = .28
end)
end
local function get_material(floorMaterial)
local SoundTable = footstepsModule:GetTableFromMaterial(floorMaterial)
return footstepsModule:GetRandomSound(SoundTable)
end
local function runningmovement(humanoid, footsteps)
if check_movement(humanoid) then
isrunning(running, notrunning)
footstepsplayingfix(footsteps)
local soundId = get_material(humanoid.FloorMaterial)
footsteps.SoundId = soundId
footsteps:Play()
wait(cooldown)
else
repeat
wait()
until
check_movement(humanoid)
return
end
end
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local footsteps = Instance.new("Sound")
footsteps.Name = "footstepssound"
footsteps.Volume = 0.8
footsteps.RollOffMaxDistance = 40
footsteps.RollOffMinDistance = 2
footsteps.RollOffMode = Enum.RollOffMode.Linear
footsteps.Parent = root
while true do
runningmovement(humanoid, footsteps)
end
end)
end)
Every player gets a footstep, placed inside the HumanoidRootPart. It picks from a list of materials, based on what the player is standing on, and if the player is moving, plays the sound. Once the sound is finished, it gets and plays another, so on and so forth.
I’ve tried remedying the situation myself, seen in footstepsplayingdetect() and footstepsplayingfix() however they either don’t work at all or don’t work very well.
Some other scripts too, if you think you need to look at them.
ModuleScript
I have checked alot (not all of them) of the Id’s in this list, which wasn’t made by me, to see if they’re either broken or privated and to my knowledge they are neither and I do not believe the problem lies in the ModuleScript.
