i have set gravity up using the tutorial on the ge program but i am still having a problem when my character is on a different platform to the floor. when trying to run off of the platform the gravity wont make me fall to the floor untill i have released the directional button that i am using, he will just glide across the air. obviously i would like him to fall immediately after leaving the edge of the platform no matter what direction i am moving and what button i am pressing (left or right).

anouther thing: when running along the floor i can not jump unless i stand still, i cant jump while running so this will prove a problem when i need to jump over a gap or hole in the floor. also if i try and move to the side after jumping on the spot i will not fall while goin that direction i will move in a straight line untill i let go.

please give me help as i need this problem solved to complete my game.
any help will be gratefull
thanks

does no1 know the answer!! lol

help please

well, could you send a the .ged and the data folder, i could help you^^

What's your xvelocity and yvelocity? Because if you go very quickly to x direction the y will effect less.
Game a gogo (or someone else who has the latest GE) will help you when you send the ged-file, but in the meantime try to make the fall accelerate.
For example
yvelocity = yvelocity + 1;

Then disable the moving in right and left when you don't touch the ground. For example with a variable called canMove.
When canMove is 0, you can't move and when it's 1 you can.
Collision any side of ground = canMove 1
end collision with ground = canMove 0

I hope this helped.

thankyou, i will give this a try and will get back to you to tell you how it goes.
thanks

still having problems
i tried changing the x and y velocity like you said but that didnt make any noticeable difference. can you explain about the can move 1 and can move 0 im not to sure what you mean or where that should go.

does anyone have any other ideas? i cant still walk in mid air if i try and walk half way through a jump.

i am not using the actuall version of ge yet so i can not send the file, i am doing this for a course at college and my teacher hasnt purchased the program yet. This wouldnt be the reason would it?

would seem like a program with my coding but i have checked everything over several times and there is nothing wrong.( i set it up using ge gravity tutorial)

more help please!!

few typos there :/:/:/

Make a variable called canMove.
Write in the draw actor:

Code: Select all

if (canMove == 0)
{
EventDisable("Event Actor", EVENTKEYDOWN);
}

if (canMove == 1)
{
EventEnable("Event Actor", EVENTKEYDOWN);
}


Then write in collision finish with ground:

Code: Select all

canMove = 0;


And in collision any side of ground:

Code: Select all

canMove = 1;


I hope this helped.

just right click the character and go onto actor control then click the add event thing and pick draw actor
then pick script editor and put
yvelocity = yvelocity + .5;
and choose immediate action.
then that actor shoudl fall where ever u havnt put in on a platfrom with a physical responce hope this helped
hope im not like talking about somthign that none els here ways if i am sorry

cheers mr game, this is the same as the tutorial advice though, so it hasnt worked im afraid .

tekdino, i have tried this but it wont recognise the canmove (undeclared indetifier) am i doing something wrong. and also not tosure where to put the collison code u mentioned.

cheers

You should create the variable in the script editor. Click on the variables button.

What if you want to STAY on the ground, never leaving it?

It seems unusual that the sideways movement should disable the gravity. What code are you using for movement and gravity?

I think he means that the sideway movement doesn't disable the gravity. Only the falling disables sideway movement. (You can't move with feets when you don't touch the ground)
