Jumping animation and collission smoothness

Postby Janet Merai » Wed May 11, 2005 5:37 am

Hi, I have been using Game Editor and it really impresses me with its functionality.

Anyways, I have run into a problem.

I have reviewed the script and variables many times and gone through many troubles.

Say I have a character standing at the right, has an animation, changes to the right walking animation, jumps and has a jumping animation.

However, I want to be able to hold that jump, a sort of glide flying, and it stays up and lowers gradually.

Also, I want to be able to jump without gliding in the air by not pressing jump twice, just a jumping animation.

But I also run into a problem when trying to land, the animation keeps going.

I have the physical reactor and things set, just, i'm having this small problem.

And, when I want to collide with a part of terrain, and there's a hole down there, and I fall down, I walk to either side and I am able to literally jump without jumping when using the left/right button on either side?

I don't know about you guys, but, this freedom of collision bugs me a lot.

Any help?

OK.
I have made a glide engine for you. It's a bit rough, but it'll do.
Would you like me to e-mail it to you?

You can use a variable to count the keys or use a key combination to other jump types

You can use the Change Animation Direction action to stop the animation on land
