u gotta use alpha textures on displacement maps
make a custom vmt like so:
"WorldVertexTransition"
{
"$basetexture" "path-to-grass"
"$basetexture2" "path-to-sand"
"%tooltexture" "path-to-tooltexture"
}
now when u make a displacement texture, u can alpha paint out the grass and the sand will show.
a tool texture is a texture that will show in hammer as a placeholder for the real texture, like the sky texture.
