How to have a character jump?

pxlpfct

Hello! I'm making a platformer and I have everything worked out but the jump. I tried copying it from the platformer example but because I've already ingrained its current behaviors into the rest of the game. Can someone just give me some general guidelines for making a jump? Thanks!

when jump is pressed accelerate up for like 0.2 seconds Thats a pretty basic way. You could also do an interpolate up but it would be a little more complex.

Why doesn't the jump rules in the platformer example work?

they don't work because there are a bunch of attributes, and I would just copy it and use it in mine but my attributes are built into other parts of the game.
