Air Control

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Hello!

    I am new to MMF2, and have a question about air control with a custom movement. I followed Please login to see this link. to make a custom movement for a platform game, but I would like to make it so that the player can not change directions or control itself in mid-air. Basically, once you press jump, you can't control your character until you hit the ground again. I have been trying to do this for a while, but I just can't get it to work. Attached is the .mfa of the platform movement.

    Thanks,

    Try and Add *Collider is overlapping a backdrop to Line 14

    *Horiz of (Player) <> 0
    *Colider is overlapping a backdrop
    -Start loop "Horiz" Abs(Horiz( "Player" ))


    Thanks for the tip, Gerald! Very helpful. Can I make it so that the player keeps his momentum if he's moving before he jumps, instead of just stopping dead when you press jump?

    That is trickier to do but first can you tell me why you want to do this :

    Is this something that will happen only once due to a certain result like being stunned or getting hurt, etc or is this just what happens all the time?

    I was thinking of it happening all the time, as I am trying to create a game like ghosts n' goblins or certain castlevanias where you have to be very careful of when and where you jump.

    Ok, if I completely understand what you are talking about then this is rather a easy fix.

    -First thing is to remove that last condition that I told you from line 17 (so that the Horiz loop will continue to loop)

    -Next add that same condition to lines 19, 20, 21, 22.
    This will prevent those events from being true once you jump but if you were already moving in either direction (left/right) when you jump the Horiz value will remain the same until you hit the ground again then lines 21,22 respectively will once again be true and bring you to a stop, thus keeping your horizontal momentum until you are back safely on the ground.

    So once again add *Collider is overlapping a backdrop to Lines 19, 20, 21, 22 and remove *Collider is overlapping a backdrop from line 17 like so:
