Jumping at an angle

butterbean

How do I program my main character to jump at an angle, and not straight up if the left or right key is held down with the jump key?

If space bar and right key are down, accelerate in direction 135... ?

yep that works

So I created a game attribute boolean, called self on the ground

When the player jumps straight up using the spacebar, she can only jump once

When I put in a rule for her to jump at an angle, here's how I did it:

When all conditions are valid:

Actor receives event: Key, Space is down
" " : Right Keyboard is down

Change attribute:

Self on the ground to : False

Timer: For .5 seconds Run to completion is checked

move direction: 28 relative to actor Move type: Additive

Speed: 175

Now what happens is when I hit the right and spacekey, she keeps jumping almost like she's triple jumping or floating, so she will keep jumping up to the right instead of landing on the ground, and resetting the jump

How do I fix this?

Thanks!
