varible "power" jumping

morphinegamingmachine

how would i set up "jumping" logic where a quick tap and release gives a minimum power/height to the jump but a hold of the jump can vary anywhere from minimum power to max power?
it needs to work while also controlling left and right movement so x movement is going to be constrained during the jump or in the middle of it

Currently I was thinking change variable y speed and also accelerate but the accelerate messes with the x movement

One way to do it would be to increase an integer by 1 every X seconds depending on how quick you want to reach the maximum when your pressing the jump button and have a simple change velocity Y if the integer is less than say 5 and reset it to 0 when you collide with actor with tag platform.

I have a modified version or our endless runner template with this feature in and it works really nice.
