Thanks for telling me a new information.

How would i do this with terrain?

EDIT: Turns out FloorMaterial is suppose to detect terrain, but doesn’t

Humanoid.FloorMaterial doesn't detect some terrain types

Basically, if you stand on some terrain types, Humanoid.FloorMaterial property doesn’t detect it. In this link, https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/property/Humanoid/FloorMaterial It says that this property can detect terrains too. I was making footstep sounds for my game and I realised it doesn’t detect ground and mud. Then I created a test place (I’ll put the place file here) and I saw that it actually doesn’t detect a lot of them. Link:https://youtu.be/XDlCVJKClIQ (Disregard …

The Humanoid does detect FloorMaterial but is sometimes buggy.
Try this model I made a while back using this thread and other tutorials.
TerrainSound.rbxm (3.5 KB)

No, this doesn’t really matter much. This error means that Studio is unable to load the texture ID of your material, but as long as you can actually see the material when you play, then this error should not be breaking your gameplay.

Well FloorMaterial works on terrain for me. I made a script that uses FloorMaterial and it works fine on terrain

I said that over a year ago. This issue has been fixed several months ago

Character sounds are no longer parented to the character’s head, to accommodate for that change I wrote the following.

local players = game:GetService"Players"
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild"Humanoid"
if not humanoid.RootPart then humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal"RootPart":Wait() end
local root = humanoid.RootPart
local running = root:WaitForChild("Running")

local materialSounds = {
	["Air"] = "", --Paste sound IDs here.
	["Asphalt"] = "",
	["Basalt"] = "",
	["Brick"] = "",
	["Cobblestone"] = "",
	["Concrete"] = "",
	["CorrodedMetal"] = "",
	["CrackedLava"] = "",
	["DiamondPlate"] = "",
	["Fabric"] = "",
	["Foil"] = "",
	["ForceField"] = "",
	["Glacier"] = "",
	["Glass"] = "",
	["Granite"] = "",
	["Grass"] = "",
	["Ground"] = "",
	["Ice"] = "",
	["LeafyGrass"] = "",
	["Limestone"] = "",
	["Marble"] = "",
	["Metal"] = "",
	["Mud"] = "",
	["Neon"] = "",
	["Pavement"] = "",
	["Pebble"] = "",
	["Plastic"] = "",
	["Rock"] = "",
	["Salt"] = "",
	["Sand"] = "",
	["Sandstone"] = "",
	["Slate"] = "",
	["SmoothPlastic"] = "",
	["Snow"] = "",
	["Water"] = "",
	["Wood"] = "",
	["WoodPlanks"] = ""
}

local function onFloorMaterialChanged()
	if humanoid.FloorMaterial then
		running.SoundId = materialSounds[humanoid.FloorMaterial.Name]
	else
		running.SoundId = "rbxasset://sounds/action_footsteps_plastic.mp3" --Default running sound.
	end
end

local floorMaterialChanged = humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal"FloorMaterial"
floorMaterialChanged:Connect(onFloorMaterialChanged)
