Hi Leaf,
Sorry about delay, been busy with my own stuff.
I compiled a small level to test this out but its been a while since I applied ground based players so everything might not work as indicated.
What the level has is a 'Model' terrain, a player model and a skybox.
As expected, everything works as it should do.
Here is the script and if you want the level, i will put it up to download.
The file is 3mgbs but may not be able to pass thru gmail due to the file holding an .exe.
This may not help you out with your current project but based on your posts, it should.
Its not very well commented but post if you want a comprehensive 'comments'.
Be prepared for a long wait from me, hopefully other users more experienced will be able to help out.
