Hi, i have just started to use this program and im a lil stuck.
I am tryin to make a character jump , i can make it jump but u can carry on jumping by pressin the jump button and end up out of view. how do i make the character jump just the once and land on the floor and be able to jump again once the character hits the floor ?? help plz

I'll make an Animated tutorial on this (like a film or whatever...), but the only thing is, my English accent sucks X[

Create a variable onGround (integer, Actor variable)
In the player actor on Collision with platform:

Code: Select all

onGround = 1;

In the player actor on Collision Finish event with platform:

Code: Select all

onGround = 0;

In the Key Down event disable the repeat option, and put the code:

Code: Select all

if(onGround)
{
   //Put your action here
}

I tried this also but when used in conjunction with physical response, the Collision finish event never occurs then

So, do you have it done now? Would like to see it

Look the cop actor in the Abuse 2 demo. The actor uses a canJump variable and uses Physical Response action too without problems.
