So I am dysleixc and the tutorial was a bit hard to follow. I am now trying to get the character’s footsteps to play from sound 1 to sound 8 and loop, pausing when he stops moving. Are there any tutorials for that? Right now I have this, but fmod plays a random gootstep sound, not the footsteps in order.

Hi,

An option may be to use an [FMOD Studio | Glossary - Multi Instrument](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/glossary.html#multi-instrument), with its [FMOD Studio | Event Reference - Playlist Selection Mode](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/instrument-reference.html#multi-instrument:~:text=in%20the%20playlist.-,Sequential%20%2D%20global%20scope.%20Items%20in%20the%20playlist%20are%20selected%20for,that%20item%20was%20selected%20in%20a%20different%20instance%20of%20the%20event.,-Playlists%20are%20set) set to `Sequential - global scope`. This way each time the instrument is triggered it will continue to work its way down its playlist playing each step in sequence.

Hope this helps!
