Make your game world come alive with immersive, surface-based footstep sounds in Unreal Engine 5! In this beginner-friendly tutorial, I’ll walk you through building a fully dynamic footstep sound system that plays different sounds depending on the surface your character is walking on—like dirt, gravel, tile, and more.We'll cover importing sound effects, setting up Sound Cues with random pitch variation, assigning physical materials to surfaces, creating a custom trace channel, and triggering sounds via animation notifies—all using Blueprints.Whether you're working on a survival game, horror project, or just want a more immersive experience, this system is modular, expandable, and 100% Blueprint-based.🛠️ Tools Used:Unreal Engine 5.5Starter Third Person TemplateFree sounds + assets from FAB and QuixelCustom Blueprint Interface + AnimNotify📌 Timestamps
