Can't create custom sounds for walking in different type of materials

To get the part that the player is standing on, just cast a ray and check what material the part is.

local ray = Ray.new(humanoidRootPart.Position, Vector3.new(0, -3, 0))
local floor = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, character) --ignore the player's character

if floor then
    --check material of floor
end

You’ll want to check out Humanoid.FloorMaterial. You can use that property to see which material the player is standing on, if any. If it’s not enough to have different footstep sounds for each material, you’ll want to do as Fualtsified suggested and do a raycast to figure out which specific part the player is standing on.

Use the Humanoid.FloorMaterial property to see what the player is standing on and change the Running ID accordingly.
This is an example for default materials:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

local DefaultSound = Character.Head:WaitForChild("Running").SoundId

local MaterialTable = {
	[Enum.Material.Plastic] = 315915457
}

game:GetService("ContentProvider"):PreloadAsync(315915457)

Character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("FloorMaterial"):Connect(function()
	local FloorMaterial = Character.Humanoid.FloorMaterial
	if MaterialTable[FloorMaterial] then
		Character.Head.Running.SoundId = MaterialTable[FloorMaterial]
	else
		Character.Head.Running.SoundId = DefaultSound
	end
end)

EDIT: Forgotten to put in Enum.Material

Script in workspace?

#6

No this goes into StarterCharacterScripts

#7

I wanna make grass sounds, where do I put grass

#8

You’d put grass into the array like this:

local MaterialTable = {
	["Wood"] = 0,
	["Concrete"] = 0,
    ["Grass"] = 0, -- Your ID replaces 0
}

EDIT: Remove the comma on the last array

there is a line on

Grass on left of ‘’

#11

Yeah sorry, remove the comma at the end of the Grass Line. Also, make sure, if you’re not making the Wood or Concrete as custom sounds then you should remove it from the MaterialTable

#12

LocalScript, StarterCharacterScripts.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

local DefaultSound = Character.Head:WaitForChild("Running").SoundId

local MaterialTable = {
	[Enum.Material.Grass] = "rbxassetid://256575709"
}

local Assets = {"rbxassetid://256575709","rbxassetid://256575709"}
game:GetService("ContentProvider"):PreloadAsync(Assets)

Character.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("FloorMaterial"):Connect(function()
	local FloorMaterial = Character.Humanoid.FloorMaterial
	if MaterialTable[FloorMaterial] then
		Character.Head.Running.SoundId = MaterialTable[FloorMaterial]
	else
		Character.Head.Running.SoundId = DefaultSound
	end
end)

Could you mark the Thread as the solution so people know what the actual solution is

Also, unfortunately I can’t help too much because you need to learn a bit for your self :smiley:. We have to start somewhere. But to change the jumping sound is in the Head object under the Player

I’d like to remind you that the Scripting Support category is not an outlet for asking for code. It’s nice to see that you’re learning and all, but try and achieve some of these things alone or look around to see how you can accomplish it. YouTube tutorials are not the only way - there are many other resources available to attempt these problems.
