Disable Movement when jumping

So after a bunch of searching and tweaking I've finally gotten my actor jumping the way I want it to. However, once it's in the air I don't want the player to be able to move it left and right. I've searched the forums, and the cookbook, but haven't found a suitable answer. After messing around with different rules and attributes I can't seem to find any that actually work.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

    You could make a rule that when player is jumping;
    Constrain Attribute self.position.X to self.position.X

    Try that.

    Oh, make sure you put in an OTHERWISE; Constrain attribute self.positionX to game.playerX

    No need for constraints or anything. Simply have your move rules in another rule that states when actor overlaps or collides with ground. That way once your in the air it disables the movement

    Cheers

    @DrGlickert: I had thought to try something like that (and did) but since no matter where an actor is their X position is always equal to their own X position it doesn't really stop it from moving.

    @JohnPapiomitis: Ack! I knew it was going to be something simple. Thanks John that worked perfectly!
