Update 2.4.2 Footstep Sounds

[Vlaxep]

Hi,

Footstep sounds are waaaay too loud.

Previous fix I believe was to manually change AudioSource volume on the Character's feet? I had this working well, but after updating it seems to have reset perhaps, or being overridden by the new 'SharedAudioSource' ( Idon't recall seeing this before)

Switching of the Audio sources at runtime removes any sound, but changing the 'Volume' to near 0 doesn't affect volume at all....

Also, it seems that FootEffect component volume is not there anymore?

What is the best current way to reduce/adjust the footstep volume?

Thanks

I think I discovered the Footstep Surface effect volume Min/Max.

Is this the correct way? Works, just want to make sure that it's best practice!

You need to create a new AudioSource on the character and customize it to your liking, then the sounds of the steps will be played according to the specified template. At least in my case, it works when the character has no body.

Really?

Is there somewhere that that is documented to do that?

So if I do this though, will this affect any other sounds character related ie if I'm turning it right down low on volume?

Or @EVG was that a solution you had to devise for a character with no body as a workaround?

The Audio Manager had a significant update in 2.4, you may want to check out the docs again: https://opsive.com/support/documentation/ultimate-character-controller/audio/

But yes, the footstep surface effect min/max volume sounds like the right approach for your case. You can also use the default AudioSource approach EVG mentioned.
