Falling

I want to make animation play when character is falling, but there’s no such sensor available. Is there some specific way to do it?

In one page I found it should be done with python script, but it didn’t seem trustworthy to me. So if anybody has an idea how to do it, please let me know.

You gotta do it with python. Use z linear velocity to check if it is high enough to be considered falling velocity.

4

you can use 2 collision sensors, with one of them inverted, so when its on ground(True,False) and falling(False,True)

upbge has a movement sensor that is nice for triggering animations when the agent is in idle
(falling, being pushed etc)

that said, I use a property that is a int and march it up based on jump events, and then use it to handle animations.

Could Nicholas_A or BluePrintRandom toss me the template script, so I could get started?

beware this is not simple to understand and I coded it a loooong time ago.
