Determining the surface a character is on

Hi everyone,

Is there a good way to determine the floor texture that a character is standing on given their edict? I'd like to modify my hearing code depending on if the target is walking on carpet, tile, etc.

Thanks!

Trace a line downward and check the material type that was hit.

See the TEXTURETYPE_PlaySound() function in sound.cpp of SDK 2.3 for an example.

No, use TRACE_TEXTURE () - it's a function from the enginefuncs

Gives you directly what you want (char pointer to texture name).
