How Are People Doing Footsteps?

OK this is my biggest struggle and it's so important - a character running around without footstep sounds is terrible.

How are other devs getting footstep sounds into their game?  What's the normal method using the OVRPlayerController - or isn't there one - i don't think there are many FPS games out there?

Thanks.

    You could spawn a step sound at your foot  location every x time based on player speed , or make it spawn after every x distance has been moved

    Have a bunch of different sounds depending on ground material

    If spawning is a bit slow/inefficent, you could just connect them all up as attributes and play the one you need once for each step.
