hey there

First off make a integer game attribute, call it jump, and set it to 0.

Next in your jump button have a rule when touch is pressed
-change attribute jump to 1
then open up the otherwise section of that rule and have a change attribute behavior changing jump to 0

then finally in the actor you want to jump have a rule when attribute jump=1

change attribute self motion linear velocity y to 350

hope that helps

Well doodlebob, here's what to do: Create a Game-level Integer attribute called Jump. In your jump button, create rule: when Touch is pressed, Change Attribute "game.Jump" to 1. In the otherwise section, put a Change Attribute "game.Jump" to 0.
In your other actor, create a rule: When Attribute "game.Jump" is true, Change Attribute "self.motion.Linear.X" to [any positive number you like. Edit it to suit you]. NOTE: If the Scene Gravity is enabled, ignore the last step: In the otherwise section of the latter jump rule, put a Move behavior with the dial turned to 270. {Change the speed to suit you}.

Hope this helps! If you're new here, then welcome. I would advise you to check out the CookBook, the tutorials at YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/user/GameSaladCookbook]. Just a thought.

Again, welcome to GameSalad!
