Infinite Jump problem

TopoftheTemple

I have a jump mechanic, complete with a jump button, but players can keep pressing the button and jumping as many times as they want, in essence creating an infinite jump. I put a wall to prevent the actor from going off screen, but if anyone has a smoother method for a jump mechanic, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Ad an attribute called grounded.
Then ad a rule:
When actor collides with a ground platform
Grounded is true
otherwise
grounded is false.

Then on your jump rule:
when all conditions are vallid
ad a condition: when grounded is true.
and a condition when self.motion.lineair velocity.Y is 0


I got this from the platform template in the creator.
Good luck!

You could just do the following;
Every 5 seconds,
if (jump button) pressed,
move up.

For platformers, I like to use invisible actors that are constrained relative to the main actor... one below, one to the left and one to the right. So, jumps — including wall jumping — only occur when the sensor actors detect a "solid" object.
