Game Maker 7.

Postby TrappedTime » August 21st, 2009, 1:17 pm

I was playing Game Maker 7 and I noticed something I can't fix.
When I make the player jump, I choose "bounce".
But then they keep bouncing and don't stop.
How do I make a simple jump-and-land, and how do I make them continuously move, but stop when the key is released?
I hope you can help me.

There's a good engine at the Game Maker Site, search for Jump 'n' Run Tutorial. But you should change some variables, like jump height or speed. If you want to release your game at a site like MFGG, where engines are hated, you should make your own. Here are some tips:

- Bounce reverses your direction, like if you smack a ball on the ground. So it's wrong.
- Gravity Direction: 270 (down), if there's ground below you, disable gravity.
- Jump: Vertical Speed -7
- If Left or right is down, move 3 pixels left/right (jump to position, not moving!)
