Is there a way to program the game so your character can't run up extremely steep cliffs?

Post in the correct forum.

There are variables which you can also play with inside the playerdatablock that will make your character less able to climb hills or cliffs.

What happens if I can't open player.cs? Because I can't.I don't have a program to run it I guess, what should I do?

You can also use Tribal IDE to edit .cs files (it's what I use)

which you can get from here tork.beffy.de/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewsdownload...

Microsoft Word is not on every system. Also it doesn't save as plain text by default. Did you mean "Write"?

Either way, Notepad is on everyone Microsoft system and it saves as plain text.
