Let’s Build the RPG! - 19 – Character Footstep Sound Effects – Unreal Engine 5 Blueprint Tutorial

In this episode, we set up dynamic character footstep sounds based on footstep events in our ThirdPerson Animation Blueprint. I go over all the free footstep sounds I’m using from Zapsplat, as well as how to set up the Audio Sound Cue and Attenuation. We cover how to set up sphere traces from the character’s waist downward to identify the specific physical material he’s stepping on, and then play the appropriate sound based on the material, but also based on whether the character is running, walking, or jumping onto the surface.
