Jump Restrictions

EthanZarov

Hey, so my game is somewhat of a platformerish game. My jumping is this:
When game.jump = true
Timer
For 2.5 Seconds-
Change Attribute
Self.Linear Motion.Y to 700

It will jump, however you can click it as many times as you want and it will continue to jump, how do I make it so the character can only jump once until it hits the ground again.

I would update your rule so that it only allows your player to jump when it is touching one of your platforms.

Rule:

Actor receives event - overlaps or collides - with - actor of type - platform

and

When game.jump = true


The behaviors in the rule:

Timer
For 2.5 Seconds-
Change Attribute
Self.Linear Motion.Y to 700


Hope that helps.

If you need more detail than that I just posted a detailed tutorial on doing basic platfomer style movement here:

I did a bit on character movement for a mega toolbox ... It shows you all ways of movement and jumping/double jump and how to break up all the animations etc;
