Add the script before ent (or c) _move if you want to prevent your entity from walking in the air.
Falling & Falltime ... to know when the entity is falling. (Player or whatever)
In "my.health -= falltime * 10" you could change health to your skill for the entity health and 10 to the multiply factor...10 because when testing in game without multiplying for 1500 quants it took only 20 health wich for my entity seemed too high to survive...so I changed it to 10 and the player died.
Also , I used falling to identify when the player is falling so he wont be able to 'walk' in the air I suggest you use it that way too.
Hope you can use it. Jumping wont be hard to add...

Code:

---

function gravity()
{
	var trace1[3];
	var trace2[3];
	vec_set(trace1,my.x);
	trace1.z -= 28;
	vec_set(trace2,my.x);
	trace2.z -= 5000;
	trace_mode = ignore_me + ignore_passable + glide;
	result = trace(trace1,trace2);
	if(result > 10)
	{
		falling = 1;
		falltime += 0.1;
		my.z -= 10 + (falltime / 10) * time;
		goto(end);
	}
	if(result < 0)
	{
		my.z += 20 * time;
	}
	my.health -= falltime * 10;
	falltime = 0;
	falling = 0;
	end:
}

better use "return();", not a goto mark. This is old language style.

this is nice, up until now, I have been using cheesey gravity (player.z decresses as long as a button is pushed ). This is mostly becaues I havent taken the time to write my movement code properly. But now I can modify this for use. Thanks a lot.

A usefull script if you ask me
but( there 's allways a but isn't it )
if my interpretation is right ofcoure,
in your script you're saying that when the player
falls from a stair, the player should lose life but
this would be bad if the player stands on the
first step of the stair, and when you fall off it, the height would
be that minimum because it's just the first step of the stair, the life
decreasement should be 0.
but I could be wrong ofcourse

mk_1 , dunno if thats old code or not but I think both work fine in this case so it doesnt matter realy wich is used atleast for me...

Rad_Daddy , you mean player.z decreases only if you pressed a movement key ?

frazzle , I'm not shure if I understanded you
If the player moves down on a stairs he will lose life,is this what you ment? I fixed this , I improved the script because I needed much more realistic gravity In my new script if you fall from 2-3 meters it wont decrease your health , also I just improved the movement up on slopes because it was 'bumpy'...
But I will let you improve the script for yourself because I will give away my entire project if I continue to contribute you will understand...I hope.
In a few days maby I will post my database script (for inventory & stuff like that...) , all in C-Script , no dlls needed , but...the word 'maby' I dunno , if I'm in a good mood.
Cya later all.

PS: If you find anything buggy in this script please post it so to be fixed. Still havent tested it if the entity is in a block in theory it should move it up but , dunno...

Thxn for the further explenation EpsiloN
Well the script that you posted on your first post
isn't the code when the player falls form 2-3 meters high ,
the player doens't loses life, or am I wrong again

I'm curious to your other scripts you'll gonna post on this topic !!
If the scripts are as good as the gravity scripts you posted out on this
topic, ... you get the point

Cheers

No in this script that I posted the player looses health even if he falls from the 'edge of his carpet' if he falls from higher than 10 quants he will lose health...but it wont be always visible because some times he will lose 0.1 for example and you wont see it...The script that I mentioned is the same that I posted but improved. Its almost doubled in lines

I will post another script for reading from a file maby even create a plugin for mIRC to write in this file...(mIRC because I know the language and it has a great text editing functions...) the data base files will be arranged Diablo II style... or Excel ... And I dunno if this gravity script is good because its my first try to make a gravity , and I think that the database reading is very easy once you understand how to use str_ instructions the harder part is to get them into an inventory. Ok , going off-line now because I've got a lot of scripting to do. See you in another post in a few hours/days

I've decided to post the improved script I wont explain what is what and for what is it. Its not hard to understand and it should be easy to add to your own scripts. Posting it here to keep the old script if someone wants to use it.
Here it is :
Code:

---

function gravity()
{
	while(1)
	{
		var trace1[3];
		var trace2[3];
		vec_set(trace1,my.x);
		trace1.z -= 28;
		vec_set(trace2,my.x);
		trace2.z -= 5000;
		trace_mode = ignore_me + ignore_passable + glide;
		result = trace(trace1,trace2);
		if(result >= 30)
		{
			if(falltime > 0.6) { falling = 1; }
			falltime += 0.1;
			my.z -= (6 + (falltime / 10) * time);
			goto(end);
		}
		if(result > 10 && result < 30)
		{
			my.z -= 5 * time;
		}
		if(result <= 0)
		{
			my.z += 10 * time;
		}
		if(falltime > 1)
		{
			my.health -= falltime * 4;
		}
		falltime = 0;
		falling = 0;
		end:
		wait(1);
	}
}

I wont improve it any more and wont add jumping because I dont need jumping. Its exactly as I wanned it , so I'm leaving it to all of you to improve it. See you later all.

Please, can you add a damage sound? And, why player loses health when he is in air? Before he reach the ground... Is there any way to make him get damaged only after he get on ground, and play damage sound?

Decrease the value of result, and place a 'snd_play([insert the needed things for playing a sound file here]);' after 'my.health -= falltime * 4;':
