I am trying to get this sound to play whenever I walk with the arrow keys. It works, but it doesn't finish the sound after I've moved. Instead it plays it repeatedly until I stop.

Load Sound "Step.wav" ,1
Load Sound "Step.wav" ,10 : Set Sound Volume 10,50

IF UpKey()=1
IF UpKey() then Play Sound 1
XTest# = NewXValue(X#,CameraAngleY#,100)
ZTest# = NewZValue(Z#,CameraAngleY#,100)
IF XTest#>0 and XTest#0 and ZTest#

I'm trying to make a first person view, or if I have no choice a third person view.

That's some pretty strange code . Nowhere in there do you play sound 10. You need to set different times at which you'll play each sound. You'll need a counter for the left foor and for the right foot. As you move forward, the counters increments based on your speed. Once you get past the limit for a given foot, the sound will play and that counter will be reset to 0.

Thanks for your reply. I am new to dark basic and I just started to figure out little things by copying and pasting code into the program. I don't really understand what you mean.. All these numbers are a tad complex for me to input.

The way I do it is to use 'set object frame' instead of the 'loop/play object' commands. That way you know exactly which frame your animation is at, and for instance you can play a footstep sound on the precise frames where a foot connects with the ground

Ah good idea . I didn't even think of that. But if you don't have a model which does so (like in a FPS), you'd have to use 1 (or 2) counter(s).

dunno if someone already said that

Yes and no. It will "work" but it won't adjust the frequency of the footsteps. I will sound like rapid running (for example) regardless of if you're running or just crawling.
