You can use the player member jumping_counter to limit the player's jump to less Olympic heights.

The jumping_counter increments from 0 (not jumping) to 1441 as follows:

0
181
361
541
721
901
1081
1261
1441

By manually setting the counter to 0 when the counter reaches one of these values, you can decrease the duration of the jump by effectively cancelling it mid-jump.

You'll need a gamevar to hold the value of jumping_counter.

gamevar temp 0 2

Inside the APLAYER actor, use the following code to cut the jump duration in half:

getplayer[THISACTOR].jumping_counter temp
ifvare temp 721 
{
	setplayer[THISACTOR].jumping_counter 0 
}
