Maybe, I can help. How do you want the sound to be played, and what is it for?
---------------------------------------------------
Well, I may as well post some code just to give you some help.
Everything is commented to give instructions and to help. It took me 10 minutes to write that all out.

Code:
addHook("ThinkFrame", do //Adds a ThinkFrame hook.
for player in players.iterate //Gets the local player
if (player.mo and player.mo.skin == "skinname") //Change "skinname" to the character's skin you want to use.
and (player.pflags & PF_NIGHTSMODE) //Do not intefere with nights, it may crash the game.
if not player.mo.footsteptimer //If the variable "footsteptimer" doesn't exist,
player.mo.footsteptimer = 0 //Create the variable.
end // End this block
player.mo.footsteptimer = $1 + 1 //Add 1 to footsteptimer every tick. "$1" gets the variable's current value.
if (player.panic == PA_RUN) //Change to PA_WALK if you want it to happen when walking.
and player.mo.footsteptimer > TICRATE/2 //If half a second has passed since the last step sound,
S_StartSound(player.mo, sfx_soundname) //Replace "soundname" with whatever the sound name is, removing "DS" from the beginning.
player.mo.footsteptimer = 0 //Reset the foostep timer.
end //End this block.
end //End the player and nightsmode check block
end //End the player iteration
end) //Finish the hook.Everything is commented to give instructions and to help. It took me 10 minutes to write that all out.

It's for a joke character, and I want it to play and repeat DSSTATU2 whenever it's moving. I tried using the script you provided and I can't get it to work.
Code:
addHook("ThinkFrame", do //Adds a ThinkFrame hook.
for player in players.iterate //Gets the local player
if (player.mo and player.mo.skin == "Gargoyle") //Change "skinname" to the character's skin you want to use.
and (player.pflags & PF_NIGHTSMODE) //Do not intefere with nights, it may crash the game.
if not player.mo.footsteptimer //If the variable "footsteptimer" doesn't exist,
player.mo.footsteptimer = 0 //Create the variable.
end // End this block
player.mo.footsteptimer = $1 + 1 //Add 1 to footsteptimer every tick. "$1" gets the variable's current value.
if (player.panic == PA_RUN) //Change to PA_WALK if you want it to happen when walking.
and player.mo.footsteptimer > TICRATE/2 //If half a second has passed since the last step sound,
S_StartSound(player.mo, sfx_STATU2) //Replace "soundname" with whatever the sound name is, removing "DS" from the beginning.
player.mo.footsteptimer = 0 //Reset the foostep timer.
end //End this block.
end //End the player and nightsmode check block
end //End the player iteration
end) //Finish the hook.

Certain textures? You mean like on maps? That's probably something you would do with linedef executors in the map itself rather than a script.

Does not approve of rails.
I think that glaber means different sounds for walking on things depending on what it actually IS.
Y'know, if you're walking on solid ground textures, it sounds like you're walking on it. If you're treading snow, you'd hear the gentle crunch of the snow when you run over it. If you're running over grass, you'd hear it as if you were doing just that.
If glaber doesn't mean that, I'm lost. :P

Alright, I did that and it still doesn't work...
Code:
addHook("ThinkFrame", do //Adds a ThinkFrame hook.
for player in players.iterate //Gets the local player
if (player.mo and player.mo.skin == "Gargoyle") //Change "skinname" to the character's skin you want to use.
and not (player.pflags & PF_NIGHTSMODE) //Do not intefere with nights, it may crash the game.
if not player.mo.footsteptimer //If the variable "footsteptimer" doesn't exist,
player.mo.footsteptimer = 0 //Create the variable.
end // End this block
player.mo.footsteptimer = $1 + 1 //Add 1 to footsteptimer every tick. "$1" gets the variable's current value.
if (player.panim == PA_RUN) //Change to PA_WALK if you want it to happen when walking.
and player.mo.footsteptimer > TICRATE/2 //If half a second has passed since the last step sound,
S_StartSound(player.mo, sfx_STATU2) //Replace "soundname" with whatever the sound name is, removing "DS" from the beginning.
player.mo.footsteptimer = 0 //Reset the foostep timer.
end //End this block.
end //End the player and nightsmode check block
end //End the player iteration
end) //Finish the hook.

Sorry, I was tired at the time of writing the script.
I also wrote it in the plain text editor for the message.
Thank you for correcting my silly mistake though.

Oh, I forgot to mention, "sfx_STATU2" should be lowercase.
Also, you need to add this line to the top of the code:
Code:
freeslot("sfx_statu2")Puppyfaic

Code:
freeslot("sfx_statu2")
addHook("ThinkFrame", do //Adds a ThinkFrame hook.
for player in players.iterate //Gets the local player
if (player.mo and player.mo.skin == "Gargoyle") //Change "skinname" to the character's skin you want to use.
and not (player.pflags & PF_NIGHTSMODE) //Do not intefere with nights, it may crash the game.
if not player.mo.footsteptimer //If the variable "footsteptimer" doesn't exist,
player.mo.footsteptimer = 0 //Create the variable.
end // End this block
player.mo.footsteptimer = $1 + 1 //Add 1 to footsteptimer every tick. "$1" gets the variable's current value.
if (player.panim == PA_RUN) //Change to PA_WALK if you want it to happen when walking.
and player.mo.footsteptimer > TICRATE/2 //If half a second has passed since the last step sound,
S_StartSound(player.mo, sfx_statu2) //Replace "soundname" with whatever the sound name is, removing "DS" from the beginning.
player.mo.footsteptimer = 0 //Reset the foostep timer.
end //End this block.
end //End the player and nightsmode check block
end //End the player iteration
end) //Finish the hook.Still not working.

Works for me when I change "Gargoyle" to "sonic". Are you sure your skin is called "Gargoyle"?
Skin names are supposed to be all lowercase.

Uh, yes, it's a link to a Wiki page, and it even says Character WAD Tutorial...

Of course... How are you going to edit your WAD?
I feel this is going to take a long time...
Download it, read the tutorial, and try not to ask every step here.
