## Using the Footsteps Component

The Footsteps Component gives AI the ability to play footstep sounds and effects based on the detected surfaces. Surfaces can be customized through [Footstep Surface Objects](/emerald-ai-wiki/emerald-profiles-and-objects/footstep-surface-object.md). Both textures from Unity Terrains and tags from game objects can be used.
