I know it’s really long, but can you please tell me why this script isn’t working?
My setup is a set of cubes, each 1x1x1, and if I fall more than 1 cube height,

Debug.LogError("You died LOLOLOL");

should get called. This is based off the CharacterMotor.js script (I would have put a diff up, but I can’t.)

    ...
	// We were not grounded but just landed on something
	else if (!grounded && IsGroundedTest()) {
		grounded = true;
		fallDistance = tr.position.y-fallStartPos.y;
		jumping.jumping = false;
		SubtractNewPlatformVelocity();
		SendMessage("OnLand", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
	}
	// We want to see how far they've fallen since starting to fall....
	// THIS IS THAT PART
    else if (!grounded && !IsGroundedTest()) {
    	fallDistance = tr.position.y-fallStartPos.y;
    }
    if (fallDistance<-1.0) {
        Debug.LogError("You died LOLOLOL");
    }
    ...

This CharacterMove.js script is the worst nightmare of any programmer: it’s highly complex, and almost every change you make produces nothing but headaches and collateral effects. You could try something simpler like the Move example with a few modifications: save the current y coordinate when the character is grounded, and compare it to the current y coordinate in Update - something like this:

var speed : float = 6.0;
var jumpSpeed : float = 8.0;
var gravity : float = 20.0;

private var controller : CharacterController;
private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
private var floorHeight: float; // current height

function Start(){
    controller = GetComponent(CharacterController);
    floorHeight = transform.position.y;
}

function Update() {
    if (controller.isGrounded) {
        /// save the current floor height when grounded
        floorHeight = transform.position.y;

        moveDirection = Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0,
                                Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
        moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
        moveDirection *= speed;
        if (Input.GetButton ("Jump")) {
            moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
        }
    }
    // Apply gravity
    moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
    // Move the controller
    controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);

    /// check if character fell more than 1 unit from last floor height:
    if (floorHeight - transform.position.y > 1){
        Debug.LogError("You died LOLOLOL");
    }
}

To use this script, attach it to the player - but remember to disable or remove that damned CharacterMotor.js script!
