Anyone have experience with the PlayerFootstep hook?

[MrPresident]

In a gamemode I'm writing, I'm trying to give players the ability to sneak. I have it working all except for the hiding footstep sounds.

Code: [Select]

function footsteps( ply )
print("STEP")
if ply.sneaking then
print( "SNEAKING" )
return true
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerFootstep", "footsteps", footsteps )

All of the debug messages are printing so I know the logic and the hook are being called, but I still hear the footsteps.
Any ideas?

I came across this in the ttt code, may or may not help you.

Code: Lua

1. -- Kill footsteps on player and client
2. function GM:PlayerFootstep(ply, pos, foot, sound, volume, rf)
3.    if IsValid(ply) and (ply:Crouching() or ply:GetMaxSpeed() < 150) then
4.       -- do not play anything, just prevent normal sounds from playing
5.       return true
6.    end
7. end

Tried, just to see if it's one of those things where something is supposed to be reverse of how it's listed in the wiki, to try returning nil or false?

bender, that's essentially the same as what I'm doing except in hook form. I will try overriding the function entirely instead of hooking to see if that helps.

Jam, of course I did.  What am I, an amateur?
