How to stop actor jumping up walls/platforms

Chr0nos

Ok, I'm about to go mad. I've been trying for hours to find a solution to this problem. I see other people have had the same problem, but I dont understand ANY of the fixes they have found.

I am making a platformer...but my actor who jumps from one platform to another, can continue to jump if he hits the side of a platform.
How do I tell the actor to only jump if his feet are on the ground!?
I've scoured the cookbook and I just dont get why this is so hard to accomplish.
I really dont understand the whole, "If this is true, do that, if this is false do this..." what does true and false mean in regards to GS?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wits end!
Thank you.

Are you referring to boolean attributes? More info here: https://help.gamesalad.com/hc/en-us/articles/202021193-2-1-Attributes-in-GameSalad.

Yes indeed tatiang. I just dont understand how to put the right attributes together with the right rules to achieve the right outcome. I've read that article 100 times but I just dont get it.
