Yes, the arms position on the model affects the height (and the width and depth, when the arms are turned to the front, or to the side.) See the attached world as an example. (I moved the model up in the air as well to make clear that height is not determined by the relationship to the ground).

A possible solution would be to create two variables for the girl’s and the samurai’s height before you run the program, and use them instead of using the getHeight function.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

All the best,
Don Slater

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

In the attached file the players are moving up and down 25% of their height.  But the players are moving slowing into the ground.  Is that because when the players are in the air with their arms above their heads their "height" is greater than that when they were on the ground with the arms by their sides?
