Ground

[Baseplate]

If you are flying in the air, I want to get the difference between the ground's Z position and my Z position, any possible way to do it?

getGroundPosition

If you are really high in the air, there's a chance this function won't work. What do you need it for, there might be a better way.

EDIT:

CrystalMV was faster

I think he already got the Z value from getGroundPosition, but he wants the difference between his Z level and the other one ( the distance ), So try using this function:

getDistanceBetweenPoints3D

I got it now, thanks everyone.

There's no need for that.

local distance = playerZ - groundZ

Correct, except it can also be negative.

local distance = playerZ - groundZ 
if distance < 0 then 
    distance= -distance 
end 

(0 if the point you tried to test is outside the loaded world map)
