Hey everyone, I am trying to make a platform game at the moment. However, I’m having difficulty coming up with some actionscript code that will allow me to jump. Here is my code for jumping at the moment:
else if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)&& !falling){
jumping = true;
falling= false;
}
Here, when the UP key is pressed and I’m not falling, the variable jumping is true and falling is false. I define what these two are a little bit farther down.
if (jumping) {
this._y = this._y - 10;
}
here, I define jumping, which makes my character go up the y axis by 10
if (this._y<200) {
falling = true;
jumping = false;
}
Here, I tell the computer that if my character goes beyond 200 on the y axis, then jumping becomes false. Instead, falling becomes true.
** if (falling) {
this._y += 10;
}**
Now here, I define what falling is, which is going down the y axis by 10.
** if (this._y>250) {
falling = false;
}**
Now here I say that if my character reaches below 250 on the y axis, falling becomes false. Now, I can press up again and activate jumping, so the process continues.
The problem with this code is, I have to be at a certain level on the y axis for this to work properly. For example, if I make my character go on a box or something, I jump less since the y value I have to reach for falling to become true is closer. The same happens if I go to a loewr area. I jump higher to reach teh y value that makes falling true. So can anyone give me a code that allows me to jump a certain height irregardless of where i am? For example, I can jump 10 units from the position I am standing, irregardless of where. Can anyone help? I’d really appreciate it.
P.S. Ive already looked at the Kirupa platform game code for jumping, but the problem with that code is that you have to use all of the games code for the jumping portion of it to work.
