noob question gravity

[Flob]

In a simple 2d game like Super mario brothers, how would you script "gravity" on to an actor?

[Hedfone]

just follow the tutorial located in the copy of GE that you downloaded

(Game Editor-> Help-> Game Stuff-> Gravity)

add a draw actor event and put this

Code: Select all

yvelocity+8;

i think that shoud lwork

[makslane]

Code: Select all

yvelocity += .8; //for example

[Hedfone]

on draw actor you put

Code: Select all

yvelocity+=.5;

and on the keydown that you use to jump put

Code: Select all

yvelocity=-8;

otherwise you'd just flyupwards into space :P

OK, i have the gravity and they keydown W to make him jump, I used a physical response for the collision on the ground, however, you have to press W (jump) multiple times to get the character to jump, sometimes he jumps on the frist time you press the button, other times its up to 4, any ideas?
