okay,make a var called Jump(integer) and on the collision on the top side of the ground have this

Code: Select all

Jump = 1;

and when the jumping key is pressed have this script

Code: Select all

if (jump == 1)
{
  yvelocity -= 1;
  Jump = 0;
}

and that should do the trick

make a variable called jumping

Code: Select all

if (jumping == 0) yvelocity = -1;

then make a draw actor:

Code: Select all

jumping = 1;

then make a collision with repeat turned on:

Code: Select all

jumping = 0;

There are many different ways of doing this. This is just one of them

... I just posted somthing like that...... (I just realised that I poseted somthing after sombody else posted somthing bout' the same thing[only links])

[Kodo]

Yup, only links. The code you guys posted is on most of those links. It also goes to show how many times the same question is asked and answered. We might as well add a dedicated forum called 'How to jump'
