Jerky as hell!!!

SaveDave

Hi there... anyone help me out here....?

I am running a test.. similar idea to canabalt style game.. running along, jumping..

problem i have is that i am using move to go right.... i am using move down to simulate gravity all on the actor.

And, to jump i am saying, when actor is touched,every 0.1 seconds change velocity on Y axis to go upwards.

this is all working apart from the fact that my jump animation doesnt seem to finish and my actor is jerky, jerking all over the place and suddenly jumping position...

what am i doing wrong here??

Using a timer for jumping isn't a very good technique and, as you described, you will get jerky results!

Check out some of the jump demo's that people have uploaded. http://gamesalad.com/browse/search?searchType=games&q=jump

Just drop the timer, while touched go up, otherwise go down

( a smoother jump could use acceleration not move)
