Characters "bounce" (or jump) is paused when I go left or right

Ozzy25

Alright so… my character (the one you're playing) is bouncing all the time (this is on purpose, it's a bit like in Doodle Jump).

The bouncing works fine so far. However I have only one problem. It's when I choose to go left or right, it's like my character takes a little break while in the air (it does have a Matrix effect haha) and basically I would like it to continue bouncing even if I choose to change the direction.

Here are my settings:



Hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong!

Thanks

First, you should take the Accelerate behavior, and have it at the very top of the list, and then followed by the collide rules.

Could be a conflict with the way it's set up now. You are telling it to accelerate down after you have left and right movements declared. That accelerate down is a constant, and should be at the very top, followed with the collide behaviors.

Yeah that makes sense.

I just tested it but sadly no luck

I kind of was thinking that it would be something like that, I mean, I want it to accelerate while I'm going left or right as well. That's why I had tried to put the accelerate behaviour inside the move left and move right rules, but no luck either (plus, it was extremely slow).

Shall I perhaps look at some other behaviours / techniques?

Here you go, try this (left and right arrows for left and right movement) + constant bounce:

Damn, I love this. Thanks so much! I managed to copy the "handling" this time, it works just perfectly. It's so smooth also, I love it. It gives it a complete different feeling! Now I need to figure out how to use that sin thing you talked about…
