How do I do fall damage.

Hello , i would like to ask how could i do a fall damage. I have no idea how to scipt the falling script. What i need is if you fall from 5 metres it will take some damage , and if you fall from 10 metres you dead. I could not find any tutorial for it. Thank you for help.

There's many ways you could do this, you could measure the amount of time the character has been falling for, or their velocity, or their speed - funnily enough they're all "different".

The most universally applicable solution is a fall timer, but it would help if we knew a bit about the game, are you using the platform, physics or custom movement behaviour?

hi and thank you. I am using platform for my character.

This should help:

Thank you very much , very helpful

interested in seeing how this was executed. I understand that VectorY can tell me the fall speed but how can I use that to determine if/when to trigger damage?

I would just make a counter, and every tick would add 1, and make a condition that if counter greater then a certain number, when player is on the floor, trigger once the damage stuff and reset counter.

Thanks megatronx.

I went with your idea and it seems to be working well. For anyone who may look at this thread, here are the steps I used:

When falling from a large distance, the player will flash and loose 1 health.
