How can i add looping sounds for foot steps and wall-slide. Using audioSource.PlayOneShot(footsteps); in Move() function sounded buggy and it plays even when im standing still

<code> private void Move()
    {

        rb.velocity = new Vector2(walkSpeed * xAxis, rb.velocity.y);
        anim.SetBool("Walking", rb.velocity.x != 0 && Grounded());
        if(Grounded()){
            audioSource.PlayOneShot(walkSound);
        }

    }</code>

why does it sound like this?

If you want to play SFX, It’s better to find method’s that you know will only be fired under the circumstances that you want.

What i mean by that is, if you want a walking SFX, you should put your play audio under an if statement for a bool that’s checking if you are currently moving on the ground, or simply use the getaxisraw horizontal && grounded for the if parameter.

Then, you want to stop the sound clip from replaying, currently you have your clip on a Update(), so it will replay every frame instead of looping. What you might want to do is have an if statement check if your !audiosource.isplaying. Or a better scenario is to set up a bool specifically for walking since the former solution can be messed up by your character playing other sounds.

Take a look at this https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-footstep-sound.921104/ for some tips on how you can set up your sound the way you want.
