When you have no idea how to make a footsteps system at first in Godot, since you don't have/can't find the tagging function such as in Unity, but it's k, since you can just create a raycast pointing at the floor and get the name of the 'model' node by doing RAYCASTNAME.get_collider().get_parent().get_name() and use the first 4 letters of the node as a way to discriminate floor types for footsteps. I have a feeling this is nasty as hell, but hey it works for now #GodotEngine #NightTimeCreativity

@Uxilo you could add the nodes to groups and check if it's in a group instead of the name prefix.

@vnen Much appreciated, already thought it was damn nasty, but couldn't find a quick way for this initially. Will look into it once I get some sleep.

@vnen @Uxilo Yeah I think this is nearest to tags you can get in Godot. I actually use Groups like that sometimes. But in more complex scenarios I tend to prefer usage of 'predefined' sub-nodes that can also hold some simple logic (answer questions usually :))
