Hello, I am trying to implement a footsteps sound effect in my 2D RPG game. Currently, I have this function in my game to control the player: 1if(state != IDLE)
2 {
3 active = true;
4 if(al_key_down(&keystate, ALLEGRO_KEY_DOWN))
5 {
6 character1.y += movespeed;
7 dir = DOWN;
8 al_play_sample(footsteps,1,0,1,ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_ONCE,NULL);
9 }
10 else if(al_key_down(&keystate, ALLEGRO_KEY_UP))
11 {
12 character1.y -= movespeed;
13 dir = UP;
14 al_play_sample(footsteps,1,0,1,ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_ONCE,NULL);
15 }
16 else if(al_key_down(&keystate, ALLEGRO_KEY_RIGHT))
17 {
18 character1.x += movespeed;
19 dir = RIGHT;
20 al_play_sample(footsteps,1,0,1,ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_ONCE,NULL);
21 }
22 else if(al_key_down(&keystate, ALLEGRO_KEY_LEFT))
23 {
24 character1.x -= movespeed;
25 dir = LEFT;
26 al_play_sample(footsteps,1,0,1,ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_ONCE,NULL);
27 }
28 else
29 active = false;
I have tried to use ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_LOOP, but it loops the sound effect very slowly (like a 1 second break before the sound effect loops itself). Is there any better way to implement this sound effect? Thank you so much! |

Hi, One solution may be like this: 1// ...
2
3case ALLEGRO_EVENT_TIMER:
4{
5 // ...
6
7 if(!(al_get_timer_count(timer) % 12)) // adjust the number
8 {
9 switch(runner.state)
10 {
11 case RUNNER_STATE::WALK_L:
12 case RUNNER_STATE::WALK_R: al_play_sample(sample_runner_steps, .5f, 0.f, 1.f, ALLEGRO_PLAYMODE_ONCE, 0); break;
13
14 default: break;
15 }
16 }
17 // ...
18}
19
20// ...
I'm not sure if it is actually better, but it works fine for me.

@Paulinek13: hi, thanks for your input! I have tried several methods using a timer but it still doesn't work properly. It only plays once every 1~2 seconds. |

Now I guess that your footsteps sample lasts,

Just something else to consider - how long does it take for your game loop take? Also, what options did you select when creating your voice and mixer?

You could loop the sample, and pause it when they are not walking. Are you trying to sync the sample with your player's footsteps?
