I don't think there's a clean way for a mod to do this. I think you could probably twiddle the sv_footsteps value from the plugin, but you'd have to be able to do two things:
1) Get called just before a certain user's CUserCmds are read and processed 2) Set the value of sv_footsteps on the server only. To do this, you'd need to be able to temporarily remove the FCVAR_REPLICATED flag from the convar from the plugin, otherwise you would flood all players with the changes sv_footsteps value, which you wouldn't want most likely. This would imply that there's a second call just after CUserCmd's are read and processed, allowing you to restore state This still wouldn't solve the problem of turning off predicted footsteps since they would depend on the value of the replicated sv_footsteps ConVar. Anyway, it might be easier for us to add some kind of "Enable Footsteps" API to the plugin interface. I'll pass this along to Alfred for consideration.

I would like to be able to access/change m_flStepSoundTime, but it is a protected value. I noticed there is a SetSwimSoundTime function and was wondering if there is one that allows us to set m_flStepSoundTime? I would really like to be able to change this value (mainly to disable footsteps per player) on a server plugin. This was possible in HL1.
