Please help!

Explain 'sliding'

For wall kicks, like in new super mario brothers, what you'd do is have a detector on the left, right, and bottom of the character, and if they're not touching the ground, and they're against the wall, and they've hit the a button, and they're moving in the direction of the wall, then set the x velocity to something.

Set the y velocity to something, and every loop set the character's positon to thier position minus the y velocity, then decrement the y velocity to simulate gravity.

I would make an example file, but I don't have TGF.

is y velotity just adding or subtracting its y postition? Ive got the sliding done already so i just need the jumping. By sliding i ment like if you running fast then stop you kinda slide forward a little.

[Bugsey]

What i did is make a detector that when the character is moving and overlapping the detector it slows down thier downword velocity and changes thier animation to "sliding". When thier animation is "sliding", thier overlapping the detector, and you press the jump button, they jump off it.

On the event editor:

Bugsey is overlapping Wall Detector
Bugsey variable "Moving" <> 0 Set variable "gravity" to 3
Change animation to "sliding"

Bugsey is overlapping Wall Detector
Bugsey variable "Moving" <> 0
Player Presses Fire 1 Set variable "gravity" to -12
Bugsey Direction is left Set variable "horizontal" to 12

Assuming if you did the Custom Platform Movement Engine in the tutorials section of the website
