Making character jump?

allc1865

oops. Sorry everyone. Posted the image in the wrong discussion.

-Timo-

oh yes, now I can see it. yes thats the wrong discussion did you also solved this problem or still have problems with it?

allc1865

Yes, I still have a problem with it; the score won't reset along with my game.

That because you're cutting off the rule before the code get's to the score or the reset. Remember this is logic and things happen in exact order in a rule. You change the attribute condition first. That shouldn't even be changed there. Take the change attribute game.game reset out of the rule and put it alone at the top of the code stack. When the scene resets that will fire and change it back to false.

Hi, @timolapre1998, do you or someone mind helping me out? When my character jumps and you move him to the right or left, he slides... So I have my file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/phdueyiq0xoduj3/jumping.gameproj.zip
You can download it. Will you please and tell me what's wrong? Thanks.

I am not on windows now but does this also happens when you just walk to the left or right?
if you have something like if game.moveRight is true
change self.motion.linear velocity.x to 200
then make it
if game.moveRight is true
every 0 seconds
change self.motion.linear velocity.x to 200
else
change to 0

if you already have this then you probably need to put his friction to 0

if this also is not working then I will look at it when on windows

allc1865

I'm on Mac. Not Windows...

Also, I put a drag on my character and that stopped the dragging.
I'm having trouble with my jumping. It seems when I figure one thing out, another goes bad.

allc1865

Yeah, that is a lot better. Thank you very much
Let me ask you one more question - and I do appreciate your help - as you saw, it jumps. I added some grass and a background to that same file, and now my jump button doesn't work. Any ideas on why that may be?

-Timo-

can you send the file with background and grass?

Thanks!

@FryingBaconStudios, Hi...no that didn't work either...

-Timo-

do you also want it to be moveable when in air?
I would also change your buttons to when touch is inside because thats better on a device

allc1865

What do you mean? have the character move when he jumps?

-Timo-

when he is in air you cant move to right and left. do you want to move right and left when in air? now you only can jump straight up

allc1865

Oh. Yes. Move left and right when he jumps.

You need to spend more time watching videos and learning not keep asking others to fix your code. You don't learn anything that way. I have a complete tutorial as I told you on run and jump watch it and learn how to do it right. Looking at your code I see you don't understand how rules work and code order. I have a video that talks about code order and there is a video on the cookbook about rules. Do the proper study.

allc1865

@FryingBaconStudios, Hi. Yes, I watch plenty of videos, and I'll watch yours, too. Thanks for the advice.

The_Gamesalad_Guru

Watch those specific videos I mentioned. It's clear from your code you don't understand how logic is ordered. If you did you would have clearly scene you were turning off that rule right away with changing it back to false first.

allc1865

Ok. Thanks.

allc1865

Yes. Thank you for your help! It's really appreciated. What did you change? You said if self.jumping is false, stay put, if it's true, jump?

-Timo-

I changed in the last rule the if game.jumping is true
do
rule if game.moveRight is true etc
bla bla bla

to

if SELF.jumping is true. so thats why I said don't mess game.jumping and self.jumping.
and I changed if overlaps or collide with ground tile copy
change jumping to false
else
change jumping to true <-- added

allc1865

Could I get rid of the display text that shows true and false on my character?

allc1865

Let me ask you. Did you do something to in the rules to make it work with just that character? Because when I switch out characters, it starts acting funny. First I could move right or left and jump, now if I switch out the character, I cannot move move right or left and then jump.

I added a display text in your player so if you delete it you dont see a true and false on your player.

Hmm... Maybe I edited the player in the screen and not the prototype (dont think so but cant remember) if you add the thing I said in another post then it should work. And else I will look at it when on mac.

-Timo-

I cant see the problem. when I delete the player and place a new character it works just the same. you only can have 1 player.

allc1865

Hi, thanks. I figured out what the problem was. Thank you for fixing my rules!

Hi, thanks. I figured out what the problem was. Thank you for fixing my rules!

glad you fixed it sure, no problem. if you have more question then ask
