1. Are you using just one matrix?
2. Is the camera positioned over the matrix?
3. What result are you getting?

Try positioning your matrix at 0,0,0. When resizing in magic world they move.

Yes I am using just one matrix!
Yes the camera is above the matrix!
Result: The camera randomly moves up and down not following bumps on the matrix.

Your code structure works perfect logically. I've never used the matrix height command before, so that might be your problem. Try using hundreds of different values for the parameters until you discover exactly what you need.

Damn it all!
Positioning the matrix 0,0,0 made it work!

Did you move the matrix to 0,0,0 in actual MagicWorld or by actual using POSITINO MATRIX?

Position matrix.
For some reason If you have more than one matrix positioned differently, when you position 0,0,0 they still keep the same positioning in comparison with each other!

Hi,

I forget since it's ages since I made Magic World - but try using the matrix's position XYZ when you use the Ground Height function - either add it the XYZ you are checking or subtract it - because the Ground Height function works from values relative to the matrix position, I think.

IE if the matrix is positioned at 10,0,20 and your man is at 15,?,30; you should check ground height at x=5, z=10 for that matrix, and similar for all other matrices.

I think.
