Can someone set me up a gob where when the player falls from a high place, instead of receiving damage, the damage he would receive is expelled outwards in a splash damage. From the higher up, the larger the splash damage. I'd also like a ripple effect made by some 3DOs. I'll provide the different sized 3DOs in a few. About 6 should do it. This should work in both SP and MP, and should cause knockback. No effects besides the rippling 3DOs and a slam sound (I know there's one in JK, not an explosion). By the way, the player falling receives no damage.

I'd really appreciate it if someone would do this, as I assume it's not all that difficult, thanks in advance.

remind me of space soldiers 3

Because I love you sooooooooo much, I'm going to help you with this. :p :p :p

I KNEW IT!

(He isn't gay, I... checked :gbk:)

Isn't there a fall damage flag? If not, I'm not sure how you'd reverse the effect when it was lethal.

0x40 64 Surface collision.

Damage flags. Bought the closest you can come to finding falling damage. Another alternative would be actually altering the level, changing the flags of all floors in the level. But otherwise, just catch the damage in kyle.cog and if surface collision, remove the damage. Though that would prevent some other things from working correctly. Though I guess you could check if there had been a negative thrust. (downward)

Fixed.

The only other time you recieve impact damage is if you get slammed into a wall or run into one, in which case, what Kirb wants would kind of apply to the laws of his physics.

(You can also recieve impact damage from a thing that hits you, but flags can be added to that thing so it doesn't cause impact damage)

If you created the boom at the position of the player, it shouldn't affect him, right?

Wrong. But there is a projectile flag, I think (or an explosion flag) that can be checked/unchecked to not affect the parent of the explosion...

The template needs to be type=weapon or type=explosion and have typeflag=0x1 or 0x40 (respectively) on it for it not to affect the parent.

Ah, I see. I figured since it was in the exact same location it wouldn't be able to find a valid direction and thus ignore it.

I'm pretty sure that applies as well.

I don't think it needs a direction. It could just subtract any victim's position vector from the explosion's position vector and check the resulting vector's length. If smaller than explosion range -> apply damage. If the two positions are the same, the resulting vector will have length 0...which is usually smaller than explosion range...
