Title: Terrain Detection (Solved)
Post by: Bainto on June 25, 2018, 08:50:58 AM

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.

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 :
