Problem with actor (jump) help!!

aitorv21

Hi!
I have this problem, when I configured my actor, my settings was a rule that say this:
Press "space" change attribute to 200 and otherwise the same to 0. But the problem is, if I repeat space space space.... my actor do double and triple jump. I want that only possible one jump and after when the actor down... can jump, but not in the air!!!!

How can solvent?

Thanks thanks in advance!!!

Only allow him to jump if he's touching the ground.

Add a Boolean attribute (let's say it's called game.jumping) that you set as true when you press the space bar and set as false once it lands. Then on your space bar rule say if space bar is pressed and game.jumping = false

SingleSparq

If your rule is set to if colliding with ground then allow the jump rule it won't jump on repeating presses unless you are touching the ground.

Now, what have to do?

KevinCross

If you're putting the attribute on the actor you can remove the game. bit from the name. You're close you need to set it as true inside your rule where you're currently saying false, and on the rule, below the space bar bit say if attribute self.jumping = false.

What you then need to do is make sure you set self.jumping to false when it lands on something.

If you look at the templates that come with GameSalad you'll see a basic platformer template that has jumping in it. Look to see how that one works
