Double Jump Issues

thompsonjm22

I'm working on creating a unique type of platformer. I'm having issues with my player being able to "Double Jump". Essentially, I have been using the code from the basic platformer in GameSalad. (I'm a new user) I have my code checking if the player is grounded and if his linear velocity is at 0. However, when I test to see if it works, I can continually press my jump key and see him jump further and further up even though he is not grounded.

Then make a rule stating that if the player's y position on jump > distance in Y then change attribute: grounded to false.

Hey guys, here's how I just did it in the game i'm working on:

Attributes:
Jump # (integer set to 0)
Jump (boolean set false)

Rules:
1) When touch is inside button:
- Change attribute Jump to TRUE
- After .1 seconds change attribute Jump to FALSE
2) When JUMP # < 2 AND when JUMP = TRUE:
- Change Linear Velocity Y to 100
- Change (Jump #) to (Jump # + 1)
3) When overlaps/collides with floor:
- Change jump # to 0


Any easier ways?
