How do you do a walking sound loop when you walk? i have this:

If Upkey()=1 or Downkey()=1 or Leftkey()=1 or Rightkey()=1
Loop Sound 4
Else
Stop Sound 4
Endif

But when you walk it just goes "BBBBBBBBBB" and sounds like it is continuously restarting. thanks!

Well, I know why. It is looping so it is playing over and over and over and over, and it is not going to just play the sound each step from that code.. Someone should be able to fix it for you, but all I know is why it only makes that noise.

well, the method i use is:

do

sound = 0
if upkey() = 1 then sound = 1
goto sound_ctrl

sync
loop

sound_ctrl



return

sorry about that, the gosub sound_ctrl would contain:

sound_ctrl

if sound<>old_sound
if sound = 0 then stop sound 4
if sound = 1 then loop sound 4
old_sound = sound
endif

return

that should work with some tweaking, this mthd can aslo be use for animations

Well, I would use a counter to add a delay between each footstep. If the counter is zero, play the sound and put the counter up to some fixed value (smaller value if running, or something like that). Here's pseudo-code, which assumes the character is moving:

if counter = 0 then play sound and set counter to 20,
if counter > 0 then subtract one from counter.

This will repeat the footstep sound every twenty frames. This should be about right for a light jog on a game running at 30fps; however, you'll probably need to tweak it to get the best result. Does this help?

ACtually I KNOW I THINK!!!!

Ya know when you are coding yourself to move in it? Well if your game is first-person then when you are coding you will be doing things about if the mousebutton()=1 then move the camera a little bit and stuff.. So you should just somehow code that for each certain distance the camera moves, play the sound.. I think that may work if there is a way to accomplish it.

but if you just based it off distance, you wouldnt have the timing right for running and walking, plus if youre going to incorporate jumping then itll be even more off. Dr Doo's idea sounds good.
