Wall jump?

[007]

Hey, I am making a platform game (with the standard platform movment) where I want the character to jump off walls (like a ninja) but I can't think of any way to do it. Can someone give me some sujestions on how?

when you say "standard platform movement" you mean the built in platform movment engine right?

well i dont recomend it. that platform engine is buggy as heck.

try using the platform movment extension. get used to using that first, then we'll talk. its very easy.

STEP 1: create 2 objects named "right wallsense" and "left wallsense" and place them on either side of the character

>right wallsense overlapping a backdrop
>object is not standing on ground
>object is falling
>pressed jump
-faceleft
-jump
-set internal flag 0 on


>left wallsense overlapping a backdrop
>object is not standing on ground
>object is falling
>pressed jump
-face right
-jump
-set internal flag 1 on

>internal flag 0 is on
-set internal flag 1 off
-user is holding left input key

>internal flag 1 is on
-set internal flag 0 off
-user is holding right input key

>object is falling
-set internal flag 1&2 off

that's how I do it in my game using "platform movement object"

Ok I just got the movment and I set it to my character but I can't get anything to work with it. How do I jump and how do I stop falling?

Well first you should probably go to the tutorials, then look at David's custom platform movement. Works wonders.
