Hey everyone!
How can I make the player jump diagonally with a single jump key press?
I was thinking this would be something really easy, but actually it’s been one big headache for me.
I’m using the platform behavior for my character, and I’ve tried to add a force, change the horizontal speed, but no matter what, I can only jump vertically. I might be missing the key action that would make this really easy, but I really have no clue what it is.
Any ideas would be rly appreciated, thanks!
Hi …you could possibly use a number variable eg ‘jumpdiag’
I always have 1 as left and 2 as right and zero don’t move
Condition…‘jumpdiag’ equals 2 then simulate right key press or add an additional force at 0 degrees.
Sub event …condition is on floor…set jumpdiag to zero.
Below this In your jump event for right diagonal set jumpdiag to 2 and simulate jump key press
I’m assuming this is isn’t for the player character
It’s not possible to jump along a perfectly diagonal line if the object has the platformer behavior attached to it …it would go against the physics.
Maybe by resetting gravity before the jump… perhaps…and with a particular force setup…
There could be a workaround: use the curved movement behavior and create the SVG of the diagonal path… and it would also preserve the collisions.
…or…maybe with the dash extension…setting up the gravity direction…
Now that you specified what you want:
Why not update your position, adding 1 to x and subtract 1 from y each timeInterval? That would result in a perfectly diagonal line for your object.
Is it that what you’re aiming for?
he can’t do that with behavior enabled
I don’t think it’s clear that they want a perfect diagonal…if they do then they could always turn off platform behavior and use a force at -45degrees …untill no longer required and then turn it back on again but I think they just want it to jump left or right instead of straight up
true that…but it’s not something i would like…bcs…collisions.
Update: I managed to get what I wanted, with a permanent force, that stops on landing. The diagonal jump was actually for a jump, you can perform after diving.
I really appreciate all of your willingness to help.
