i just posted the same question a few days a go and tdk have
helped me a lot!
thanks tdk !
but the function is just for y position =0.0 and not for all
y positions for example if the charachter jumps on a platform
it will not jump until the characthers falls down to the ground(y position =0.0)

All you need to do is replace the graound value (0.0) with a varaiable:

GroundLevel = 0.0

When you land on a platform, you simply use:

GroundLevel = 3.5 (or whatever the platform height is).

In the jump button check routine, use the GroundLevel variable to decide whether to jump or not.

When you get into more advanced models/terrains that aren't just square you'll probably want to either look into using Intersect Object (DBP) or Sparky's Collision dll (DBP/DBC). Basically you'd check for intersection below the user, and (using TDK's method) you'd set the Ground variable to the intersection return (since they return the distance to an intersection, that distance would be the height from the ground as well).

But you're just starting out so dont worry about this for now, just something to keep in mind.
