Falldamage problem C++

Hi ,

thanks for sharing your solution.
Using the velocity for falldamage is a pretty awesome idea.

For now I will use another way because I’m not interested in doing everything physically correct:

I take the difference between the characters Z-position when he starts jumping and his Z-position when he hits the Ground.
Then I use it as a X-value in a linear funktion to apply damage: f(x) = a(x-b)

Code:


	if (GetCharacterMovement()->MovementMode == EMovementMode::MOVE_Falling && ! bFalling)  // bFalling is for checking if the character just started jumping
	{
		FallstartZposition = this->GetActorLocation().Z;  // Z-value for startposition
	}


	if (GetCharacterMovement()->MovementMode != EMovementMode::MOVE_Falling && bFalling)
	{
		FallendZposition = this->GetActorLocation().Z;  // Z-value for endposition

		if (0.2*(FallstartZposition - FallendZposition - (FallDamageResistenz * 800)) > 0)       // Check if value will be bigger than 0
		{
			HealthDecrease = HealthDecrease + ((0.2*(FallstartZposition - FallendZposition - (FallDamageResistenz * 800))) / 100 * MaxHealth);    // Damagefunction
		}

	}

	bFalling = GetCharacterMovement()->MovementMode == EMovementMode::MOVE_Falling;

I’m using “FallDamageResistenz” so I can controll the falldistance until the character gets damage.

It’s probably not perfect because I’m very new to programming but it works for me:D
