ok 1st problem cx# isnt anything youd need to have, cx#=camera position x() etc etc, as your variables wont fill themselves , toher than that it should work

Hmmm...methinks I understand why...Ok I'm back and I'll try to take a whack at this. I'm on my sucky laptop so I can't test this before posting but here-goes....

I used to use the same type of code in similar tests...the x,z movement worked fine, but it was the y (elevation)movement that was really blocky right?(if I remember correctly)...you're gonna make me want to turn my pc back on...heheh.

Anyway, If this is the case, you'd want to make something like a motion buffer... that works like an invisible spring for the y axis...

so...in essense position camera cx#, cy#, cz#
whereas
if cy# > get ground height (1,cx#,cz#) then `*my syntax may be off `with the "then" in this case. I forget.
cy# = cy# - get ground height (1,cx#,cz#) * 0.9
endif
if cy# < get ground height (1,cx#,cz#) then
cy# = cy# + get ground height (1,cx#,cz#) * 0.9
endif

hope that works, play around with that "0.9" to tweak the smoothness. the lower the number the slower the graduation. and I SWEAR there's another way to do this but I don't remember. the Binary moon tutorial showed how. it was written for DBC, I have DBPro and the tut. code worked fine 4 me. But, I'm going to look this up...It's really nagging me.
Cheers..
Any more questions or whatever, email/im me. I'll respond.

The only limits we have are those we set.

Here is a slightly modified code from the code snippets board. From Phaelax I believe. It allows the user to walk up and down the terrain at almost the same angle as the terrain. So you walk up hills slower than flat areas insted of the opposite
