# Prevent fall damage or falling death

From EDukeWiki

The following code can be used to prevent the player from either receiving fall damage, or from hitting 'terminal velocity', which results in death upon hitting the ground.

You'll need a single gamevar to hold the value of falling_counter.

    gamevar fallcounter 0 1

Inside the APLAYER actor, use the following code to restrict the falling counter to prevent falling deaths:

    getplayer[THISACTOR].falling_counter fallcounter
    ifvarg fallcounter 60 // not 61, because there's a slim chance the number won't set properly in time
    {
      setvar fallcounter 60 // any value under 62 is non-fatal
      setplayer[THISACTOR].falling_counter fallcounter
    }

To prevent ANY fall damage to the player, change it to the following

    getplayer[THISACTOR].falling_counter fallcounter
    ifvarg fallcounter 7 // not 8, because there's a slim chance the number won't set properly in time
    {
      setvar fallcounter 7 // any value under 9 does no damage
      setplayer[THISACTOR].falling_counter fallcounter
    }
