Okay, so this is for my winter war mod... *_Seifer_* told me it'd work this way, but it just randomly did what it had to...

Code:

close=9999;
for(i=0; i<GetSurfaceCount(); i=i+1)
{
 dist=VectorDist(GetSurfaceCenter(i), GetThingPos(player));
 if(dist < close)
 {
 close=dist;
 closesurf=i;
 }
}

surfflags=GetSurfaceFlags(closesurf);

if(GetThingAttachFlags(player) != 0 && act == 0 && IsThingMoving(player) != 0 && IsThingCrouching(player) != 1 && surfflags & 80000)

Right, so i wanted to know how to get the flags of the surface you're stanind on...

Life is like... skating... yeah, skating is a good example. You see someone skating and think "Hey, that looks like fun and easy!". You go and buy a skateboard and try, you get a few broken bones, asphalt-face and stuff... But hey, i'm not the one who gets hurt!

The problem with using GetSurfaceCenter() is that if you're standing next to a wall, you could be closer to the wall's center and not the floor's...
