When they jump record the upward velocity you want. Store it in something clled like vy#. Then set variable for gravity (remember 9.8 m/sec^2 or 16 ft/sec^2). Each interval, add vy# to the height and subtract gravity from it each time until the guy hits the ground again.

Here's some code showing a simple jump:

There is some use of static objects that may be confusing, but that is there because you need something to jump off of.
The same jump routine can be used with a matrix as well:

Sorry, don't know. I have DBC. You can copy and paste the code from the site. Try to run it from your editor, you'll know right away.
