Leaving footprints - how would you do this?
i am still trying to understand how players can spawn entities... but i'd like to understand how you might implement "leaving footprints" when players or NPCs walk across certain surfaces?

The only things I can think of would be:
1. Vanishing footprints: These might be able to be done, conceptually speaking, with a form of smoke asset. The smoke miiight have the ability to linger if that trait is available in the asset.
IF this exists, insert little lights in the floor/on the ground. When the character walks over the lights the character enters then leaves an event trigger box-much the saw way a sound can be triggered when entering a specific area. There might be a way to put a timer on the event trigger/triggered and the footprints, sound, light, etc., end/disappear. A way TO make them slowly disappear might be to stack/place multiple trigger boxes inside each other/stacked on top of each other and set the timers at/to different durations. Then the footprints could sloooowly fade.
2. Sliding textures/floors. Once the character passes through an area an event causes a floor to slide/ascend. The new texture/floor has the permanent footprints on it.
