Help with a jump who piss me off!!§§

Aasimar

Hi guys,

I need your help for a simple jump, that pissed me off!§§§!
I tryed many differents things but my jump isn't like I want...

The theory is simple and easy to write in code but with GS, it's an other world.

I have a guy who's jumping when I push a button.
I need to have a progressive jump :

If it's a little push, the guy jump a little, if it's a long push, the guy do a big jump.

I need to use a Y min and a Y max like :

MinY = 100, MaxY = 500

When it's a little push, he use the min value : 100
When it's a long push, he use a value between min and max : 100 -> 500 OR 500 if it's not possible.
If the button's pressed a lot like 1 or 2 second, can't exceed 500 and the guy is automatically jumping 500.

I tryed with accelerate and it work but it's not smooth and regular.
I tryed with a release fonction, it work, but not like I want.
I tryed many many things but... No ! I think it's possible with GS but I don't know how.

Any help ? someone has done this before ?

You can find it in my running game template plus lots of other things :P, see the "Interested in a Canabalt like template" topic.
There are many ways to do it. One, for example, is to deactivate the acceleration made for gravity, add a value to the motion linear Y, and when the mouse is released or the max height of the jump is reached, reactivate the gravity and stop changing the value But there are plenty of others.
