Use a timer to determine when the next "step" is to be played, so if the character is still walking and the next step sound timer is reached, play another step sound and reset the timer.

If your character is running, then use a shorter delay between steps and maybe a different sound file?

Hope that helps

>Edit<

Or a 2nd idea, is only play the step sample when the animation frame of your characters feet reaches a specified frame.

Thanks prof. The only problem i am having right now is changing the sound from walk to run or vice versa. If i do it with variables it does not work bcos of keypress.

Regards

How do you distinguish between running and walking?

Assuming your using "shift" or another button to make your guy run (i.e. Holding down shift run=true, else run=false)

Then just add this check to your sound playing bit.

if timer()-footStepTimer>footStepDelay
if run=true
play sound runStep
else
play sound walkStep
endif
footStepTimer=timer()
endif
