Space bar jumping

[drk necros]

I'm sad to admit that as long as i have had mmf2 I never bothered to figure out how to make a character jump by pressing the space bar. Up until now people playing my games had to use the default up arrow+left/right arrow command to make the charadter jump. I have recently decided that i would like to make a game using the space bar for jumping but embarrasingly enough I don't know how. Please help.

In your app/game runtime properties, click on the edit button next to "Default Controls." In here, you can change the default buttons.

Also when you are editing the Platform Movement go to the "Control" dropdown box and select Button 1 or Button 2 depending on which you wish to be the jump button, then do what Stephen1980 said and edit the corresponding button there to match.

Now might be a good time to start looking into some custom movements. Like maybe the Platform Movement Object. It might seem daunting at first, but after you figure it out you'll appreciate the control and flexibility you have.
