I'm sorry if this comes out as being offensive, but I just can't resist. Here is what your post should look like:
Your player starts in the player spawn point. It is in the mission file. You need to put it at the ground level. You can switch to the camera (Alt-C) when you're in the game so you don't fall, and then go into the world editor and move the spawn point down to ground level. Then save the mission and restart. You could also do this in the mission file itself with a text editor. If you know what level your terrain is at (zero, maybe?), you could just type 0 for the third number in the position attribute of your spawn datablock.
Alternately you could raise the entire terrain to the level of your current spawn point. But I'm not exactly sure how to go about this.
Edit: Niel beat me to it...

Start by learning to spell and punctuate the english language correctly. You will find that it's easier get useful search results when you spell the things you're searching for correctly. You will also get a lot more respect from the people you're asking for help.I'm sorry if this comes out as being offensive, but I just can't resist. Here is what your post should look like:

Hi guys,
So I've been on this one for hours. The first issue that I was struggling with was trying to get my terrain flat. I got that sorted out. So now my orc character falls for like 3 minutes before hitting the ground. I've tried searching the forums. I've tried everything to fix this, but to no avail. Can someone please help? Thanks.
Oh, and how do I get rid of the health bars on the left hand side? Thanks.
