Landscape layer info physic Material only reads when layer is from paint

hi there

I am trying to sample a landscape texture to be able to drive a particular sound. The only way I can seem to currently do this is to create a landscape layer and assign a layerinfo with physicMaterial on it and lineTrace and check the physicMaterial from the hit result.

If I then plug in a texture into the layer blend node in the material, the only physics material that gets returned from the hitResult is the defaultPhysics Material. But if I then paint the layers through the landscape tool then the correct physics material gets returns according to what layer is painted.

Is is possible to have the landscape return a value from a texture that is applied to it in the material?

Bump. Did you find a solution to already painted materials giving the correct physics material?

Or know of anyway to refresh (recompile) all the painted textures?

Also having problems with Landscapes not returning the correct physics material. I set the landscape material to a certain physics material but it’s not returning it from a line trace.

Hi Guys, anyone gets a workaround to this? Thanks.

Hello dokipen. I also had the same thing happen to me but I’ve noticed that it only happens in the editor, so if you make a build of your project it should work fine.
