Terrain Detection (Solved)

[Bainto]

Is there anyway to create a terrain detection script for a char, where instead of playing the basic clopping of the prefab it plays sounds based on what terrain the char is on?

when character is grounded, raycast down, compare the name of the hit object with events and send to the event that plays the correct sound.

Hi.
You can also compare the material if materials are changing during run time on the object.
This way you can dynamically change the effects on the same object.

I have probably 5 different terrains or so that the char will play on is there anyway id be able to have a bit more detail as im really new XD ty for the help and ill attempt to figure it out in the meantime with the thought of using raycasting.

Hi. do you understand how  raycast works?

with the raycast you need to detect the ground object, then you can get the name/layer/tag/material and so on from that object.

Then you can use that information to determine what terrain you are on.

Here is one of my older videos about raycast :
