Way to delete default sound? Foot steps?

Asked 4,104 views2 answers

I wanted to add my own custom footsteps, I have the script ready, but is there a way to remove default sounds like the foot steps and jumping etc? Both sounds overlap and I don't want that. I know you can remove leaderboards and chat, and I have done that successfully, but is there a line of code that removes sounds given default by ROBLOX games, or replaces them? I've seen developers do this before and I feel the default roblox sounds are too lively for the game I plan to make.

I hope I'm not asking for too much, if it's more than a few lines of code I'd just like an idea of how I'd do this.

Thank you!

Replace the default ID's with the sound you want. So for line 3 you could do:

rbxasset://sounds/action_footsteps_plastic.mp3"] = "rbxassetid://143959455";

You can place this as a normal script in the workspace.

local soundIds = {
	["rbxasset://sounds/action_falling.mp3"] = "rbxasset://sounds/action_falling.mp3";
	["rbxasset://sounds/action_footsteps_plastic.mp3"] = "action_footsteps_plastic.mp3";
	["rbxasset://sounds/action_get_up.mp3"] = "rbxasset://sounds/action_get_up.mp3";
	["rbxasset://sounds/action_jump.mp3"] = "rbxasset://sounds/action_jump.mp3";
	["rbxasset://sounds/action_jump_land.mp3"] = "rbxasset://sounds/action_jump_land.mp3";
	["rbxasset://sounds/action_swim.mp3"] = "rbxasset://sounds/action_swim.mp3";
	["rbxasset://sounds/impact_water.mp3"] = "rbxasset://sounds/impact_water.mp3";
	["rbxasset://sounds/splat.wav"] = "rbxasset://sounds/splat.wav";
	["rbxasset://sounds/uuhhh.mp3"] = "rbxasset://sounds/uuhhh.mp3";
}

local function fixSound(instance)
	if (instance:IsA("Sound")) then
		instance.SoundId = (soundIds[instance.SoundId] or instance.SoundId)
	end
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
		for _, child in next, character.Head:GetChildren() do
			fixSound(child)
		end
		character.Head.ChildAdded:connect(fixSound)
	end)
end)
