You don't need to pay someone, learning how to do it on your own will be more beneficial in the future.

Here is my advice

Have two attributes

One a boolean called GROUNDED

The other an integer called JUMPNUMBER

Make these Rules

If
Button Pressed
AND
JUMPNUMBER is less than 2

Then
Change vertical velocity to 500
Change JUMPNUMBER to JUMPNUMBER + 1

If overlap with ground
change GROUNDED true
otherwise
change GROUNDED false

if GROUNDED is true
change JUMPNUMBER to 0

for gravity make the character Accelerate downward

this will make it so that pressing a button will make you jump, and pressing it again will make you jump again, it will not jump a third time because JUMPNUMBER will equal 2, landing on the ground will reset JUMPNUMBER

@RossmanBrothersGames I knew I would get an answer like that! & its true, but I need to to release this game asap.

So I will try your instructions, but they dont look any different from the tutorial.

& u didnt specify which actors I need to change the attributes on, I had some issues because the the jump button is the whole background of the game, & whenever I add the attributes to the characther I can't get those attributes to show up under the jump actor to correspond it.

Please be as detailed as possible, thank you so much! I wont go to bed until I figure this out

I can't get my character to only jump twice, I've tried all the gamesalad tutorials, even the one directly addressing this but I still can't figure it out.

Here is my current set up, even with these settings my character keeps jumping.

The screenshots correspond to the "player" actor.

Also check out the background actor because that's what controls the jump, but im not sure if I need to edit anything there for the double jump.

You're overcomplicating things for yourself. I'm PMing you a fix for your problem. I'd recommend taking down the link to your project, that's a lot of project to be posting!

In broad terms for anyone else reading, the solution is to place the limit on how many jumps (self.jump number) as a condition for the standard jump.

if jump is true and if self.jump number < 2
...perform jump logic
...change attribute self.jump number to self.jump number+1

Then have self.jump number reset back to 0 when the actor next collides with the ground (or however else you register a jump as being over).

@kittyra1n, I've updated the file you sent me this morning. I'll email it to you shortly with a description of what I did. It's working fine now.
