Walking on a slope while using real gravity

programming
1

ok, well I scratched my old physics on the game and decided to go based on real physics…I used an actualy gravity algorithum based on mass, distance, yada yada…I’m still having a problem with walking on a slope, making the character go up and down basically.

[as]
function charDist(event:Event):void
{
gPull = gravity * eraserMass / dist * dist;
getDist(eraserMan.x, eraserMan.y, theGround.x, theGround.y);
trace(touchDown);

		}
		function getDist(x1:Number, y1:Number, x2:Number, y2:Number):Number
		{
			dx = x1 - x2;
			dy = y1 - y2;
			dist = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy);
			return dist;
		}
		function gravity(event:Event):void
		{
			velocity -=  gPull;

			while (theGround.hitTestPoint(eraserMan.x,eraserMan.y,true))
			{

				eraserMan.y +=  velocity;
				

			}

			while (! theGround.hitTestPoint(eraserMan.x,eraserMan.y,true))
			{
				eraserMan.y -=  velocity;
				

			}





		}

the gravity function is where the issue is…the character falls faster and slower based on weight and distance…thats all great. But once I hit the ground, he stays linear…help please :smiley:
