If you need to know which commands to use, check out the LOAD SOUND and PLAY SOUND commands.

There are a couple of ways you can do this. You can base it on time or distance. When your character starts moving, annotate the time or position. After it moves a certain time or distance, play the footstep sound and annotate the time or position again. Keep playing the sound at whatever time or distance interval you choose until the character stops moving.

Note that at differing rates of movement, the interval between footsteps will change. The footstep sound will be played more often if the character is running as opposed to walking.

Edit: Also, if you're going to have your camera bobbing up and down to simulate the walking or running movement, make sure it's syncronised with the footstep sound.

You could give an object a meterial type like metal, stone and grass and when you collide with the object just change the sound thats playing with the meterial type.

The best way would be to make a "sound image" that is basically a duplicate of the uv map for the object you're walking on. This image has a colour for every type of sound, and the colours are placed down accordingly. Eg; where grass is on the uv map, you might make that entire area green, whereas metal would be grey, and water would be blue. Then you'll need to convert your player's coordinates to UV coordinates on the sound image, grab the colour of the pixel the user is on on the uv map, and play the appropriate sound.

The easier method ofcourse being to have seperate objects for seperate materials, then just check which object the user is colliding with and play the appropriate sound.
