How can I make an actor jump with a button?

Hello,


How can I make an actor jump with a button?


Thank You

JohnPapiomitis

make a attribute called jump.

Have a rule in the button when touch is pressed:
-change attribute jump to true
then open up the otherwise section of that rule and have a change attribute behavior changing attribute jump to false

then in the actor you want to jump have a rule when attribute jump = true
-change attribute self motion linear velocity y to 400 (adjust the 400 to change the jump height

just make sure to have a accelerate behavior in the down direction in the actor you want to jump to act as gravity

Make attribut bounce
Rule when touch is pressed change attribute bounce to true
Otherwise false
Then when the attribute > true adjust his linear velocity to height of jump!
Edit: @johnpapiomitis you beat me to it!

Hi,


Thanks for the respond, can you make me small template about this?


thank you

We'll I'm not home.... But in my own opinion I know it sounds easier if someone else does the work for you, but your not going to be able to learn if you don't do it yourself.....
I reaky am sick of people asking for free templates now.... Just my two cents!
If you really want to make an actor jump go buy a DBA template (plat former one) from http://www.Deepblueapps.com

did you try it?

dondan89

yes, I do have going left and going right and works find, but the problem with jump is that it goes up and then it does not go back down as normal jump

LeonardDeveloper

Oh then you might want to put a timer like... When game.bounce > true after .2 seconds change attribute game.bounce to false! hope that helps!.

Edit: removed for double post.... Gs really need to work on the forum compatibility with iPads and iPhones......

JohnPapiomitis

no need for a timer, since a change linear velocity is a one time thing not a constant movement

if the actor is not going back down, then you did not put the accelerate down behavior to act as gravity as a posted above

cheers

Ok I will try

Did you add gravity?

dondan89

no
