die according to the height of the jump?

If I make 3 different buildings, with 3 different heights.

I want the player to die if he jumps from the biggest building.

Can I accomplish this easily with beta 3? how? just programming the api, there will be a method or something that says

getHeight()

if(getHeight() > 10 )

Player.Die();

I would love it

I'd recommend you just use SimpleDynamics for now, which employs gravity and scene Heightmap. Whenever an object "lands" on the ground from a fall, it calls the object's "OnLanded" event handler, where you can check the velocity of the impact. So I'd recommend that you just deliver damage to the avatar as a function of the "Y" velocity (downward) upon landing. Then if the avatar runs out of health, they die (already implemented).

The OnLanded handler is a virtual method that gets called by Simple Dynamics, and so there isn't an event to register for, but rather just a method to write. In Beta 3.0, these hard-coded methods will be replaced more flexible events.

Najak.

I guess I create the method on the script editor, Does it have intellisense?

well, lets suppose I created the method something like

public void DecreaseHealth(Player p, Vector2 velocity)
{
if(velocity > ANumber)
{
p.Health=0;
p.PlayAnimation("die");
}
}

now how do I execute this method on the Onlanded event?
