I have a platformer style game and I am wondering how to make the main player jump.
Anyone know how to do this?

    I don't mean to be mean, but there have been a lot of posts about this lately (many answered by me) so I think your best bet is to search this forum. Many newcomers do not realize that there is a search feature on this site. Just click on the little magnifying glass at the very top right of this page (you may need to scroll to the right).

    Again, not trying to be mean just teaching you to fish rather than giving you the fish.

    If you still can't find anything post again and I'll help you out.

    Here is my problem with this...
    My actor just keeps falling down (I think is is from the acceleration at 270) or when I delete the behavior (accelerate...) the actor flies upwards.

    This is what I used...

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    you need an otherwise in your jump trigger.

    So if you have a rule that says

    Rule
    When spacebar is down
    game.Jump to 1
    Otherwise
    game.jump to 0

    K Thanks!
    Now it works better, but when I finish a jump, it keeps bouncing. I can stop it by moving it to the left or right, but is there another way to fix it?

    BTW I am using the instructions form the second link I posted.
    Should I use the instructions from the first link I posted?

    Sorry to be annoying about it with so many problems.
    Thanks!

    set restitution to 0 to have no bounce (both the jumper and the platform)
