Apologize about my english.
I have started one project. I have read all excelent guides.
I´m testing one issue... when i use higher values of gravity, my player actor stoped after a few seconds.
If i use values of 250 for gravity then my player move w/o problems, but the jump style is very slowly.
What is the best way to solve that? I want a jump fast, but only have it with higher values of gravity (around 1000)
Im reading alot of things on that forum, and rules, if this is a bad section to post that apologize and move it please.

    first things first I would recommend using an accelerate down behavior for your actors gravity as opposed to the built in Gravity Behavior. Its more memory efficient. Not a huge deal for your problem but in the long run it will be better for you. Also make your accelerate down speed reference a Game Level Attribute that way all of the actors you are having affected by gravity you will be able to change the value for all in one place.

    Ok now to your issue.

    Once you have your gravity level set where you want. Your jump has to be powerful enough to overcome that level. if your Gravity is 1000 your accelerate up speed might need to be 1050. Its just a value you will have to play with until you get the 2 fine tuned to where you want it.

    Acelerate down speed in atribute game could affect all actors... I want to test it, thanks you!!

    it will affect all actors you use that attribute in place of a preset value yes. Otherwise if its not referenced its Not going to affect anything.

    No your probably just not doing it right. let me see if I can find or make you a quick demo of what I'm saying to do.

    Tenrdrmer thank you to much for your example.
    I have used for acceleration a real number, w/o attribute for a game.
    I have used your settings and now i have a fast system jump L-)
    You are very good, thank you to much for that explained
    And values for Friction and Max Speed help me alot :=)
