There's my code. Here's a link to my entire project folder, including media:

Anyway, I need to be able to change the player height and angle. My future levels are going to require that the character can change height and angle in accordance with the terrain beneath him. If anyone could help me out with this, I'd be really grateful, as my deadline is drawing nearer and nearer.

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't the "SCALE OBJECT" command work for your purpose?

Which object would I be scaling?

And also, I forgot to ask, are there any DDLs that I could get that might help me out with this? (Calculating ground angles?) I'm willing to pay if I must.

Scale the player object as needed. (the player is a cube right?)

Maybe if you describe what you're trying to accomplish it might be easier to figure out a way to help. You may not need a DLL.

Take a look at this forum thread. I think it might help.

Oh sorry, forgot some

But that did help some. I'm also looking for this:



EDIT: Ugh. The top of that got cut off. It said "In my current level, I have some boxes."

I know the task at hand can seem daunting at times, but given what you want to do, some of the demos and code posted here in the forums should help you get there.

Keep looking at the stuff in that thread, and do some searches for some of the terms in there. I think you'll find a lot of information that will help you get what you are after.

Ok, I will.

I'm coming right back here if I don't find anything though.
