If you are using DarkPhysics then I assume you are asking how to make a 'rag-doll'?

If that is the case then this is a very complicated question to answer. Maybe you should ask on the DarkPhysics forum here:
Dark Physics Forum

Otherwise perhaps you could give some example code and we could try to point you in the right direction?

I was just confused by what exactly you were after an answer to:

Quote: "how 2 code my player 2 fall down a steep slope?"


or...

Quote: "how 2 detect the slope"


Also I wasn't sure why you mentioned DarkPhysics.

I'm not being awkward or trying to annoy you just trying to help

Although DarkPhysics does do some collision detection I would suggest using sparky's collision too. DP raycasting is bugged.

1-Setup the mesh as a complex object using the sparky's command "sc_setupcomplexobject"
2-Do a raycast from your player position directly down to well below where your mesh ends
3-Use "sc_getcollisionnormalx()" and "sc_getcollisionnormaly()" and "sc_getcollisionnormalz()" to get a 3D unit vector for the 'normal' angle (90 degrees to the slope)

At least that's how I'd do it...

I'd suggest:
1-try to be clear with your questions
2-try to be patient and polite with the answers

Otherwise you'll just annoy people who actually want to help and are capable of doing it.

No worries, I know how frustrating that can be.

Just ask any time I'll always try to help (not always successful but I'll try)

If you get stuck with my suggestion let me know.

That's a bit of hooey. I looked at your profile and you have made over 100 threads and all but two got responses (and those were DP I think).

I tried to help you here:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=182349&b=7and you didn't even have the decency to respond to my suggestion.

With you saying stuff like this, in effect dissing everyone who has tried to help you, why, I ask you, would they want to help you now? Maybe you are young (I don't want to know), but regardless, you are acting like you are very young. You should be grateful for the help you have received. I can tell you that it is frustrating to take the time and effort to help others, and they either never show up again or don't acknowledge the effort. So please, consider what you say.

we ar enot a support desk, we are just members like you.

Fps creator has recently introduced per polygon collision. If your terrain is a mesh file and not a heightmap it may be possible to make an event occur when you are on or within the radius of a polygon.

Is not worth insulting and then say peace. Surely you behave the same way in all the forums where you make questions. Next time you ask questions, remember the two magic words please and thankyou Sorry to the other fellow, if my comments are somewhat harsh.

Cheers.

I'm not a grumpy grandpa
