Hey guys, another script release Hope you like it, this time, it's footstep sounds, basically, this script allows you to enable and disable the ability to sound footsteps when the player walks. This is useful for creepy games for example, creaky floorboards etc.

The script has some minor problems which are explained in the script information, but overall it's pretty good. It features a different pitch for each step, and the footsteps are faster when you dash.

You can download the footstep sound files i use here:

Here is the script, hope you enjoy it The instructions are inside the script. Thanks.

CODE

#==============================================================================
# ■ DeadlyDan_Footsteps by DeadlyDan
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Enables ability to "sound" footsteps when walking over specific tiles
#==============================================================================
# Usage:
=begin
  
  Simple, place the audio files in your SE directory, and try the game.
  
  There are some known bugs in this, if anyone has any fixes just let me know:)
  
  To add custom sounds for custom tiles you can do for example:
  
  FOOTSTEP_WOOD = [15] # The tilenumber ID that you get with debug_tileid function
  FOOTSTEP_WOOD_FILE = "Audio/SE/stepwood" # The filename for the sound
  
  then add underneath the # Insert custom sounds here line:
  
  footstep_check ( FOOTSTEP_WOOD, FOOTSTEP_WOOD_FILE, 0 )
  
  The last number in that function stands for the layer, since the wood tile i
  selected is on the ground layer, it's layer is 0.  
  
  (NOTE)
  There is a problem that when you go on carpet it makes dirt and snow sounds,
  i currently can't find a way to fix this, so, the best thing to do is to call
  the command $game_player.footsteps_enabled = false.
  
  To enable footsteps while stopping the carpet and tables from making the snow
  and dirt sounds, there's an uneasy solution of placing a touch event which
  calls $game_player.footsteps_enabled = false.
  
  Sorry about this inconvenience.
