Foxpaw: Did this work as you expected? I haven't been able to apply PHYS_Falling to something that is PHYS_Walking. It always just reverts instantly back to PHYS_Walking because it's touching the ground so it things it just landed. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Also, would you mind if I cleaned up the above a bit? There's some variables declared that don't get used at all, and some stray log statements and whatnot. It's your personal page though so it's up to you.
