Determine the texture/material of object you're standing on.

As the title states, is there a way to detect the path or name of the material the character controller is standing on in Leadwerks.

entity:GetMaterial()

To go even further, you would need to WORLD PICK from the controllers feet to the ground. This will return a PICKINFO you would be able to get the exact surface. pickinfo.surface:GetMaterial() would get you the material itself. pickinfo.surface:GetMaterial():GetPath() should get the filename itself without going through extra steps.

 

This will not work on terrains.

Thanks, didn't even think about using a pick operation.
