How do i make an attribute turn true only when an actor touches the top

giacomino

I am making a game where I have an actor called "player". I have my game set up so that when the player collides with a second actor called "Platform" it changes the attribute "player grounded" to true (otherwise false). This only allows the player to jump when the player is touching the platform. The problem I am having is that the player can jump even when it is only touching the side of the platform. I need the player only to jump when it is touching the top of the platform!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Accommodate the platform height to min. so that you have next to none side edges.
The other way to tackle this situation would be to add a rule which says player.pos.y is >= platform.posY+((platform.height/2)+(player.height/2)).
Check it out and see if it works!
