Hi, how can I find out where the player is? I don't mean the coordinates. I mean which biome. Is he in a forest? On the beach? In the water? In a cave?
I know this is done in the ambience mod, but that does not work very well. For example, if the player is in a cave with a lake ocean waves and gulls are played.
Is there a better way to do this?

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

All I can think is get_pos then find_nodes_in_radius.
The you can see what nodes are around.
For example instead of looking for water to make ocean sounds check for water and sand. For caves it would be water and not sand.

Perhaps you could test the temperature and node type at the coordanince, as well as how far underground the player is?

That's how ambience works. But you can be "underground" above sea level and as far as I could see the ambiance checks for water and position
I hope that there is another method than checking for nodes around the player
