How To Add FootSteps Sound Effect When Walking?

I Am currently testing out my indie game I’m developing, but i have a problem. I can get my FootSteps Sound Effect To Work For Some Reason. Here Is The Script:

var AudioFile : AudioClip;
function Update() {

if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.W))
{
    audio.clip = AudioFile;
    audio.Play();

 
}
}

Is It The Script That I Put in the first person controller, or did i just do EVERYTHING wrong, btw the sound effect is a .mp3 if thats helpful to know.

Your code will play the audio just once when you press W; it is not a desired effect for footstep sound effect. Take a look at these 2 scripts written by @alucardj, [Footstep audio script with delay][1] and [Simple Footstep audio script][2]. Run the script, understand the logic, and make the necessary modifications to make it work with your game.

Your logic will play the sound once when you pressed W. It will play the sound.

Make sure you have these in your scene setup :

  • Audio Listener on the camera (this is the default)
  • The audio component set to a audible volume
  • the audiolistener placed within the audible zone
  • audio-file assigned to the script

.... and the gameObject that is going to play must have an audio source component attached (as the OP discovered).

var ground : AudioClip;

private var step : boolean = true;
var audioStepLengthWalk : float = 0.45;

function OnControllerColliderHit (hit : ControllerColliderHit) {
var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);

if (controller.isGrounded && controller.velocity.magnitude < 7 && controller.velocity.magnitude > 5 && hit.gameObject.tag == “Ground” && step == true ||
controller.isGrounded && controller.velocity.magnitude < 7 && controller.velocity.magnitude > 5 && hit.gameObject.tag == “Untagged” && step == true ) {
WalkOnGround();
}
}
/////////////////////////////////// Ground ////////////////////////////////////////
function WalkOnGround() {
step = false;
audio.clip = ground[Random.Range(0, ground.length)];
audio.volume = .1;
audio.Play();
yield WaitForSeconds (audioStepLengthWalk);
step = true;
}
@script RequireComponent(AudioSource)
