Is it possible to jump freely?

[zuhane1]

On many of my games, a key input goes in blaady blaady blah. Then when I press that key my character jumps 2 spaces forwards. Is there any way to make it so I jump upwards and then control my fall? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think so, you'd make a move event to make you hero Start Jump, and use forks with key inputing and variables to determine which direction the character should move, and end it with a Move Event to stop your hero's jump.


Alternatively, you could just position yourself before jumping.

Alternatively, you could make a jumping animation (with battle animations, or even in the actual charset), and play that.  When they're jumping, turn on a switch and make certain things (such as holes) beneath the hero, or not make them fall (depending on what they do when you're not jumping.

Thankyou very much! I'll give it a bash.
