[CGMZ] Footsteps for RPG Maker MZ

Hi all, introducing: [CGMZ] Footsteps!

This plugin will give you the option to play a footstep sound when the player walks on certain tiles. You can set up footstep sounds by either region id or terrain tag, then when the player walks on a tile with either the region id or the terrain tag they will hear a footstep sound.

Visual Footprints

This plugin allows you to show footprints where the player walked. These fade out automatically over time, either by time or by step. Note that if the player stops walking and it is set to a step-based fade, the fade will stop until the player starts walking again as shown in the gif. If set to a time-based fade, the footstep will fade out completely even if the player stands still.

Sound Variance

Footstep sounds themselves can have a variance applied to their volume, pitch, and pan settings so the sound never sounds quite the same.  Additionally, this plugin can handle selecting from multiple different sound files, to add even more variance in what the player hears when they take a step.

You can also add a variable wait time between each footstep sound, so if your player is dashing they are not flooded with sound effects while moving across a footstep sound area. The plugin can also wait for a certain number of steps to be taken before playing another footstep sound.

Easy Disable/Enable

Footsteps are controlled by a game switch set up in the plugin parameters. When this switch is ON, you will hear footsteps. When this switch is OFF, you will not hear footsteps. If you always want to hear footsteps you can leave this parameter unset and not need to worry about the switch at all.

Example

Footsteps can help immerse the player in your game. For example, you may play a snow crunch sound while the player is stepping on snowy tiles. You might instead play a more sandy footstep sound in the desert, etc. This plugin is very configurable and easy to use so you should be able to set up any kind of footstep you want.
