Can someone please help me set up a simple Pedometer in Unity?

Unity Engine

I’ve followed a few tutorials. I’ve researched the API, I’ve even asked ChatGPT to help me create one but all have failed.

Can someone please help guide me on how to set up a basic functioning Pedometer for Unity?

The program just needs to be able to count steps and display them in a text box please.

I genuinely need help, I have been struggling with this for weeks.

I am not going to do all of it for you, especially as you didnt cover what you tried, but

In your animations, put key frames for when a foot touches the floor, and fill in a method to call say pedometer, then, in a component have the pedometer method, and have it increment an integer each time its called and update the text

I do not have an animation. I’m trying to simply design a system that passively increases the step counter each time the phone itself detects when the user is moving.

Sorry the psychic network was down.

This is what I have so far having completely restarted.

As for what I have tried, I followed this tutorial:

But it did not work, and the counter never updated.

I bought and tried the following program from the asset store, but it broke my Gradle System which caused me to delete a lot of my work and restart.

I’ve read through the API but it doesn’t make sense to me. Usually I understand what the API means but here, I can’t get a grip on the functionality.

using 
System;
using 
TMPro;
using 
UnityEngine;
using 
UnityEngine.InputSystem;
public class 
ProtoStepCounter : MonoBehaviour {
    
public 
TMP_Text stepCountText; 
    StepCounter systemStepCounter;
    
void 
Start () {
        systemStepCounter = 
new 
StepCounter ();
        systemStepCounter.MakeCurrent ();
                // systemStepCounter.enabled = true;
    }
    
void 
Update () {
        
if 
(systemStepCounter != 
null
) {
            stepCountText.text = $"Current Steps are: {systemStepCounter.stepCounter.value}";
        }
    }
}

I have a working pedometer solution here that doesn’t require any messing about. Just follow the steps in there.
