# Footstep Notify

AN\_FootstepTrace

This notify is provided so that users can easily setup **physical material based SFX/VFX for footsteps**. By default, its only added to the **forward run animation.** You must add it to any other locomotion related animation that you'd like to have footsteps.

{% hint style="success" %}
After setting up all the physical materials and SFX/VFX, it is highly recommended to **copy and paste the notify** into **all necessary animations** to avoid remaking the necessary maps!
