Hmm, custom jumping

[Keyboarder]

I am programming a custom platform movement with fastloops. All is going well, until THIS!

I program the following event:

+Repeat while pressing spacebar
+X("Player"), YBottom("Player") is an obstacle
-Start loop "jump" JumpHeight("Player") times
-Set Jump stop to 0

+On loop "jump"
-Set Y("Player") to Y("Player")-1

JumpHeight is the height that my player will jump.
Jump stop is just programming how far it will jump, therefore allowing for greater jumps by powerups, which is why i don't hardcode stuff.

Why doesn't this work?

Please help! You guys have been very helpful to me in the past

For some reason when I try to run the game it says it was built with an incompatible version of MMF or The games factory?

[Keyboarder]

hmm? didn't it always work before?
i'll try reinstalling, brb.

[KLiK-iT]

Never ran into that before!! Are you up to date with the latest build?

OK,I changed the run time to Direct3D 9 and it works. What's the issue with the jumping? Seems to be working! When I press the spacebar the block jumps 100 pixels,.but it's really fast. Like it's going from 0 to 100. No in between. What I mean is it jumps to 100 instead of being smooth. If I press the spacebar once it seems better but is still jumping to instant 100.

yeah, that's what the problem is.

oh, so it was your problem?

and no, i'm on 251 253 doesn't install.

i mean, a platformer with tele-jumps is no fun. instant jumping is a pretty big problem!

[KLiK-iT]

LOL,..So,.what's the issue,.the instant jump to 100 pixels?

and no, i'm on 251 253 doesn't install.

I notice that you have no products registered to your forum account - you can't install new builds with the demo version.

If you do own the full version and there's a problem with the installer, could you let us know the details?

Yeah, i'm sure i don't have the demo, because I have all these extensions ;P

Sent you a form.

EXACTLY. The insta-jump is annoying. How do i get it to float up gently?
