Auto Footstep is a plugin for Unreal Engine 5 that automatically detects when a foot touches the ground, it is made in C++ and designed to be used from Blueprint. The plugin was made to easily configure footstep sounds for any character.

The system performs sphere overlaps regularly to detect if ground has been touched by each configured foot, it has a built-in system to detect physical materials and play a sound cue based on the physical surface, it is possible to configure more than two feet. The system contains several configuration variables that allow tweaking it to match your needs, from multiple feet to how the ground detection works.
