I'm following this tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z160NtbM ... ion_112532 - part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVaEZMii ... re=related - part 2

I am doing everything right, I have no errors, but my character refuses to jump. I mash up key like crazy, watch tutorial back, mash up key, check my code, mash up key, test etc.

I would ask the creator of the video to help me, but the problem is that those tutorials were relased nearly year ago, so I doubt he'll remember.

Thanks in advance

He replied to someone's comment 3 weeks ago. That's pretty recent, so I suggest asking him.
