double jump with a platform object

[rhoymand]

how do you make an object "double jump"? upon pressing a key the object would jump and pressing the key again while the object is jumping would cause it to jump again or "double jump".

how would I limit it to only 2 jumps? if I keep pressing the jump key the character keeps jumping.

Use a counter to keep track of how many times the event above has been triggered, add the condition "+ Counter is below 2" and reset the counter to 0 when the player lands.

I'm obviously missing something completely obvious... I set it up exactly as pictured but it doesn't work?

It assumes Ctrl is the jump key. Having "Player 1 fire" would be better (e.g. it could be Shift).
