I have an issue with this code where the model will only drop to the floor if the player is grounded at death or at least near the ground. Otherwise the model will just stay stuck mid-air if the player dies in the air. Can anyone help?

set_flag_state(flag_ta, flag_state, owner = 0) 
{
	g_flag_state[flag_ta] = flag_state
	g_flag_owner[flag_ta] = owner
	new ent = g_flag_ent[flag_ta]

	switch (flag_state) 
	{
		case state_dropped: 
		{
			set_pev(ent, pev_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER)
			set_pev(ent, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_TOSS)
			set_pev(ent, pev_sequence, SEQ_DROPPED)
			engfunc(EngFunc_DropToFloor, ent)
		}
	}
	set_pev(ent, pev_aiment, owner)
	set_pev(ent, pev_owner, owner)
}

Try getting the height that the player is, use fOrigin[2] -= distanceToGround and then set the new origin, may be a newbie way to fix it.

[CrazY.]

#include <xs>

...

new Float:origin[3], Float:endpos[3];
pev(id, pev_origin, origin);

// Replace 10.0 for the distance from player to ground that you want
xs_vec_sub(origin, Float:{0.0, 0.0, 10.0}, endpos);

new tr = create_tr2();
engfunc(EngFunc_TraceLine, origin, endpos, IGNORE_MONSTERS, id, tr);

new Float:fraction;
get_tr2(tr, TR_flFraction, fraction);

if (fraction == 1.0)
{
    // set_flag_state -> state_fly
}
else
{
    // set_flag_state -> state_dropped
}

free_tr2(tr);

...

switch (flag_state) 
{
    case state_dropped: 
    {
        set_pev(ent, pev_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER)
        set_pev(ent, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_TOSS)
        set_pev(ent, pev_sequence, SEQ_DROPPED)
        engfunc(EngFunc_DropToFloor, ent)
    }
    case state_fly:
    {
        set_pev(ent, pev_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER)
        set_pev(ent, pev_movetype, MOVETYPE_FLY)
    }
}

Thank you guys both for pointing that out and providing an example!
