stop jumping while key is pressed

[elautor]

quick noob question... how can i make mi character stop jumping while the jump button is still pressed from the previous jump?
also why does the character bounces on the side walls?

im using multimedia fusion2 on windows xp

thanx

well, it all depends on how you are making the character jump. If you are using a built in movement, this first thing i would suggest is to download the "platform movement object"

Look throught the documentation of that object and you will have a much more powerful movement in your game than the built in one.

yes i have that, ive tried everything and i still cant make it stop jumping while the button is pressed.

is there an extension for an advanced plattaform movement?
The link obove is broken and i didnt find it in the forums

Hi elautor,

If you keep playing with the platform movement object (and not the "built in platform movement") you will find that it makes doing tons of really cool platformer stuff really really easy. There IS a bit of a learning curve though at first.

Theres got to be some examples around.

As far as not jumping continualy while jump button is pressed, you need something along the lines of this:

if player object is standing on the ground
if players alterable value X(name it "jumped yet" or something)=0
if player presses jump

then make the player jump AND set value X to 1

then a second event:

if player is on the ground
if player is not holding jump
Set player alterable value X to 0



I hope that helps Have fun.
