Structure and fields

Field Type Comments

Block

This block has positional entries for different types of material interactions, such as walking, impacts, and vehicle tire slip.

Field Type Comments

Block

This block has positional entries for every hard-coded material type. These are the same material types seen in damage_effect modifiers.

Field	Type	Comments
effect	`TagDependency`: effect	The effect to locally spawn at the interaction/collision point, which can do things like create decals, particles, lights, etc.
sound	`TagDependency`: sound	A sound to play at the interaction/collision point. It is also possible to add a sound part to the effect above, but using this field may prevent the game from cutting this sound during effect-intense scenes.
