Surfaces

A surface is a line of surfinfo.dat, numbered from 0 for DEFAULT to 178. Every face, box and sphere of the map has one, and the natives that hit something give it as material. A3D_GetMaterialName gives its name and A3D_GetMaterialFlags its flags.

Players and actors carry 62, the surface PED, and vehicles 63, the surface CAR. Spheres and boxes created by scripts carry 0, and so does the water. A ColAndreas database has no surfaces, so every hit gives 0.

Flags

Each flag stands for a column of surfinfo.dat. The constants are A3D_MATERIAL_ followed by the name in the table below, such as A3D_MATERIAL_SAND.
