About this tutorial

Realistic skid sounds should respond to what the tires are actually doing. In this tutorial, we use skid and slip magnitude to detect when the wheels lose grip during hard acceleration, sudden braking, sharp cornering, or handbrake drifting. We’ll build the Blueprint logic needed to trigger the skid sound at the right moment and dynamically control its intensity based on how aggressively the vehicle is skidding.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

  • Read and process each wheel’s slip magnitude
  • Find the highest skid intensity across all wheels
  • Trigger and stop the skid sound reliably
