Footstep Areas

Postby andylegate » Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:57 am

Okay, Trylon said to do this for Footstep Areas:

USe the folluwing logicproperties:
string type = region
string region = footstep
string surface is [surfacename]

where surfacename is one of:
"dirt"
"puddle"
"water"
"tile"
"metal"
"woodbridge"
"ropeladder"
"grass"
"brush"
"hardwood"
"rug"
"stone"
"mud"
"metalladder"
"woodladder"
"deepwater"
"maintainerglass"
"maintainerstone"
"swimming"


Now, last night I tried to just change the properties of my exsisting footstep areas to what he listed above. Didn't work. So I decided to remove the areas, and put them back in new.
I went to Scripts>PyPRP>Add Footsteps Region and then edited it to fit where I needed it in layer 2.
Then I looked at the logic properties, and stopped in my tracks. Here is what is listed:

String Name:type = region
String Name:prpregion = unknown
String Name:regiontype = footstep
String Name:footstepsound = dirt

Ooookay. This is different from what Trylon listed (and this is the latest download of the PyPRP plugin). Do I go with this? And what do I do for the prpregion = unknown?

whoops - error in the region creator
just ignore the "prpregion" type - that's a leftover I forgot to remove,
and consider the "footstepsnd" property as bogus as well

But..... my original post had a flaw
The corrected version is here:
Use the folluwing logicproperties:
string type = region
string regiontype = footstep
string surface is [surfacename]

where surfacename is one of:
"dirt"
"puddle"
"water"
"tile"
"metal"
"woodbridge"
"ropeladder"
"grass"
"brush"
"hardwood"
"rug"
"stone"
"mud"
"metalladder"
"woodladder"
"deepwater"
"maintainerglass"
"maintainerstone"

Okay, but one more question, and maybe I'm being dense here:

"surface is" I actually give it that name? Or did you mean "Name:surface" ?

EDIT: Never mind! I went and looked at your test age. It says just "surface"

yeah : "surface" is the name of the property, and e.g. "metal" it's value
