Jumping and Walking help

zNiiC

So I am using the platformer template, and I was wondering how I can only have my player jump every 5 or so seconds. I created an integer of 5, and when the player jumps, I subtract 5. Every second, 1 is added to the integer, although this doesn't work. Need some help here. Also, when the user holds down the left or right button, the player slowly goes faster and faster. How can I get the player to travel at a set speed?

Here ya go.

You cant move left or right when you jump, and when you jump you have to wait another 5 seconds to jump again. Also travels at a set speed. Using accelerate wont do that because thats the point of accelerate. Think of pressing the gas pedal in a car, thats what accelerate does.

Make a rule 'when touch is pressed' timer behavior " every 5 seconds, accelerate actor 'player' up (270 degrees)" and create another behavior for 'player' actor to accelerate 90 degrees at a set speed.
Hope this helps

im already using the accelerate behavior. Direction is 0 (right) and acceleration is 850. Can I at least disable moving while the player is jumping?

So you want the player to stay in the same place while jumping? That is weird because in physics the actor will keep going

I don't want the move buttons to be active when the player jumps. I will upload a video shortly explaining why I don't want the player to be able to jump constantly.

Perfect! But just one question, is there a reason why the character slows down to a complete stop when I extend the scene size and hold down the move button?

JohnPapiomitis

Not sure, doesnt happen to me. Youll have to put the move buttons on a non scrollable layer though if you make the scene bigger. Also did you add some other objects across the larger scene to check? It could just appear its not moving.

Yea i but the buttons on a non scrollable layer. My background is binder paper, so im pretty sure it slows down.
