i used the command load object to load a matrix from another program into my game but now i cant use the command get ground height because it requires a valid matrix so i was wonderin if there was a command that could load my matrix into my game but pass it as a matrix not an object??

That's not possible - it's still an object not a matrix.

No. You can only use Get Ground Height on a matrix which was created in your DB program.

Just cast a ray from whatever axis plane is normal to your terrain object. Exp:

TerrainY#=intersect object(ObjNo,SomeXValue,0,SomeZValue,SameXValue,10000,SameZValue)

(Assuming your terrain heights aren't negative.)

Oops, Wrong forum. That's a DBP command. Sorry.
