How do I make actors make footstep noises that vary with floor textures?

I am working on a stealth-based wad, one of the things I really want in it are footsteps, that vary with the texture that is being walked on. In addition to this, I'd like to see if I can make it whereas crouching is totally silent like in games like Counter-Strike.
Help for this would be greatly appreciated.

Look up the 'TERRAIN' lump on zdoom wiki or a wad.(Ghouls 3?)

Doesn't that only modify the first hit sounds? Like when you first land on a surface with said texture?

It does and the method usually used is an actor with a certain weight dropped when you walk (see state in decorate)
EDIT:
I managed to do it for you
I found a very easy way to do it by checking if crouching or not via acs
There you go
You can see the ACS code (i put the original in the pk3)
Feel free to edit and add sounds and anything you want if you need to

One last question, what is the argument needed to make an actor permanently transparent and how transparent it makes it?

Add "Renderstyle Translucent"
Change the ammount of transparency with the Alpha property
If you want to make the actor transparent after it spawned you have to use
A_SetTranslucent supposing Alpha is already set but i don't know if skulltag/zandronum support it
EDIT: You can still set the alpha to 1.0 and renderstyle to transparent so you can just use
A_FadeOut and
A_FadeIn to make an cool disapear-like effect.

Another thing, I tryed copying then pasting the player information after I had added my own values so I could make two classes and add TEAMINFO and I got an error "No player classes defined".

Yes, I can give you the link to the pk3 and so you can see what I am doing wrong.
