I followed Nathan’s tutorial on Platform Gaming, but mine is having an error. When my character jumps, if I push left or right keys in mid air, he will start running. I am new at game programming and wondering what I could do to fix this. I used all of his code correctly (as in copy and paste) If anyone could give me a hand, it would be appreciated.
