I want to implement audio of footsteps in my 3d game, and i have searched for a lot of videos and tutorials, but haven't found a single one that actually solves my problem, because they are either in a rush and don't explain very well, or i simply don't know what im doing...

Maybe someone has a good system or way of implementing footsteps in a game, so i have come here for help exactly on that, because i'm new to godot and don't know much, and the places i searched didn't really help that much 🙁

I must inform that i have a bob animation, already have my audio files and the nodes containing such audio, for running and walking.

    CaioM Accumulate the distance walked by perpetually adding the difference in horizontal position between each two consecutive frames. When that accumulated distance reaches the length of one step - play the sound, reset the distance counter. Repeat the whole thing for the next step and so on.

      dont forget to add check if player is in air then dont count steps, but maybe start counting wing flaps or something

      CaioM hat actually solves my problem

      ok, what IS your problem? you never mention it 😆

      I think I might have gotten mine from a youtube video, but I made some modifications to make it better.

      first I have a raycast pointing down:
      @onready var raycast_step_material : RayCast3D = $Walking/Raycast_StepMaterial
      then one sound for each material variation of step sound:

      @onready var step_concrete : AudioStreamPlayer3D = $Walking/StepConcrete
@onready var step_right_metal : AudioStreamPlayer3D = $Walking/StepRightMetal

      and some other values:

      var lastStep : float = 1.0
var stepInterval : float = 0.4

      then, each staticbody is a different material, and I put metadata in them (at the bottom of the inspector). I then test for the raycast and retrieve the metadata, with a default value.
      finally, I give the sound a random pitch to create variation between the steps using the same sound.
      this is all dependant on the character being on the floor and a timer:

      all in _physics_process

      if stepInterval >= lastStep:
	lastStep += delta
      if is_on_floor():
	if lastStep > stepInterval:
		lastStep = 0.0
		if raycast_step_material.is_colliding():
			var hitmat : int = raycast_step_material.get_collider().get_meta("hitMaterial", 0)
			match hitmat:
				1:
					step_right_metal.pitch_scale = randf_range(0.8, 1.5)
					step_right_metal.play()
				_:
					step_concrete.pitch_scale = randf_range(0.8, 1.5)
					step_concrete.play()

      edit: and also, stepInterval is changed when running:

      		if event.is_action_pressed("Run"):
			isRunning = 2.0
			stepInterval = 0.2
		elif event.is_action_released("Run"):
			isRunning = 1.0
			stepInterval = 0.4

      edit2: also, your sound nodes must have polyphony set to a high enough value, that's the number of times you can play the same sound simultaneously.
