B1AnimNotify_FootSteps

File: BlueClient2/Source/BlueClient/Animation/AnimNotifies/B1AnimNotify_FootSteps.h / .cpp Base Class: UAnimNotify

Purpose

Plays footstep audio at the notify frame by detecting the physical material of the floor beneath the foot socket and matching it with the character's current shoe outsole type.

How to Add in the Editor

1. Open an Animation Montage or Animation Sequence.
2. Right-click on the Notify track → Add Notify → B1AnimNotify_FootSteps.
3. Set PrintSocketName to the foot socket (e.g., foot_l or foot_r) in the Details panel.

Editor Properties

Property	Type	Default	Description
PrintSocketName	FName	—	Socket on the foot bone used as the trace origin
OptionalSoundId	FName	(empty)	Override sound ID; if empty, the sound is auto-selected from the material/outsole lookup table
TraceChannel	ECollisionChannel	ECC_GameTraceChannel10	Collision channel for the ground line trace
TraceStartZOffset	float	100.0	Z offset above the socket where the trace begins
TraceEndZOffset	float	-150.0	Z offset below the socket where the trace ends
VolumeMultiplier	float	1.0	Volume scale applied to the spawned audio
PitchMultiplier	float	1.0	Pitch scale applied to the spawned audio
bFollow	bool	false	If true, the audio component moves with the character

Behavior

1. Performs a line trace downward from the foot socket position.
2. Reads the UPhysicalMaterial from the hit surface.
3. Determines the shoe outsole type from UB1AppearanceComponent on the character.
4. Looks up the matching FB1FootStepsAudioTableRow using material + outsole combination.
5. Loads and spawns the audio via UB1AudioManager (2D or attached depending on bFollow).
6. Sets the MoveVelocity parameter on the audio component to match character speed.
