(@ Bonanza) Walking on Terrain should work, if not then it has something to do with my trace instruction for gravity, the camera should also collide with terrain, if it doesn't then something needs changing in the trace that is hitting the terrain, usually a trace_mode issue.

If you wish to implement the ledge and ladder code, it works in this code, but it's not refined, kinda buggy, it's moreso a base idea to build something upon. I highly suggest looking through the code of the Access Phenomenon Demo, and using that as reference to refining it. As the player movement code in that game is built upon this code.

(@ DCorwin) That's really really weird, so you're just adding my code above, copying it directly into some script, making sure the scan_event function is moved or defined at the top, then just adding the action to an entity? Can you post word for word how the error appears when you try and run your level? Does it display the line number the error is on? Something else you probably know, but is the variable defined before the action "player_action" (ie above the action in the code)?

300th post! I am a Man now

Yup, I've done all of the above. The error is:
zelda_code.wdl 2:0 Error(29) Keyword unknown

<(abs(dist_planar-camera_move_to)<20)>
243:0 error 63, Parameter unknown dist_planar
<cradius_speed=-0.25....
244:0 error 63, Parameter unknown dist_planar

<ELSE {>
245:0 Error 19, Parameter unknown ELSE bad keyword in {}

Ahh okay, the error has to do with the first line I think, what tends to happen, if one line has an issue, lines below it will appear as errors even if they are okay. Somewhere in your code is the line "zelda_code.wdl" and I'm assuming the engine doesn't like it, syntax error or whatever.

Hah! It was the ----------------------------------- I copied from your code!

LOL, only if at the time I was aware of the Code:

 tags I could have used :P

Hello!

AP, the code is excellent.

I have only one problem. Maybe someone can help me out?

When my player lands, after a jump, she sinks thru the terrain just down to her ankles. An eighth of a second later, A6 pushes her up so her feet touch the ground.

I've also seen the same phenomenon using the old A5 player_move code (which used to drive me bonkers)

Any ideas?

Thanks again for sharing your awesome code!

Oh yeah, the good ol bobbing in the ground.

Try this ides, just say the player is falling, the trace is returning a value > 0, do an if statement that says, while the player is falling, check to see if result > 0, the moment that result < 0, make player.z = result; (check and do this before the next wait instruction), so that the player's z does not drop below the result value. The other thing I did, if I were moving the player's z based on a force and velocity vector, then the moment result is say < 2, I set the falling velocity to 0, to dramatically decrease the bobbing. I think that's what I did anyway :P

The same problem is in the Access Phenomenon demo.

Sorry AccessPhenomenon, i cannot test ur code for this error:

var temp2[6];
103:5 Error(): Twice defined temp2

my.animdist=0
498:0 Error(50): Parameter unknown animdist Parameter

ent_cycle(@2,myanimdist)
572:0 Error(50): Parameter unknown animdist Parameter

my.animdist+9*time
573:0 Error(50): Parameter unknown animdist Parameter

i'm not a writer and i cannot resolve the problem....
