Indi, you've gotta stop posting answers to DBC questions with DBP methods...

To check the ground height of a .x model, you have to make your own function.

It's relatively easy. To start with, just move the player object up above the heighest point on the matrix object, then move it down untill you get collision, then each loop after that, all you have to do is check for collision, if there is collision, then move the object up untill there isn't any.
If there isn't collision, then move the object down untill there is.

Hope I Helped...
Jess.

jess, the problem is with your method is that it could be rather slow and inacurate if you have over hangs and the like, the best way is to use nuclear glorys dll for dbc, www.nuclearglory.com

download it, give it a go, its very very useful!!

Thanks Crappy Coder

Yes, our DLL has ray-cast functions that work similar to the "intersect object" command for DBP only our commands return more data. You can find both DBP and DBC versions of the DLL from our site.
