To align the character to the slope use ...

;calculate normal of slope
Nx# = 0 : Ny# = 0 : Nz# = 0
for c = 1 to countcollisions( p\Pivot )
   Nx = Nx + collisionnx( p\Pivot , c )
   Ny = Ny + collisionny( p\Pivot , c )
   Nz = Nz + collisionnz( p\Pivot , c )
next
;align character on y-axis - does not need to be normalised
Aligntovector p\Pivot , Nx, Ny, Nz, 2, .25

To rotate use ...

YAW = keydown(203) - keydown(205)
turnentity p\Pivot, 0, YAW, 0

To move use ....

tformvector 0,0,p\Speed, p\Pivot , 0
translateentity p\Pivot, tformedx(), tformedy(), tformedz()

Untested but this is what I use.
