Would there be a way to make this gravity code smoother? The gravity is mostly in the functions CheckGravity() and LevelSlidingCollision(). You need the sparky collision dll for it, by the way. I'd appreciate any help. The media is attached.

Gravity is an acceleration more than a velocity. In your code, you are affecting the player's Y position by subtracting a constant, when really, you should be subtracting a velocity variable, which constantly increases by the gravity's value.

For example:

grav = 1.0

inc velY, grav
position object Player, x#, y# - velY, z#
