How do you make a player double jump?

Im trying to make a Team Fortress 2 clone called Team Pixel

Right now im working on Scout

[superchaz2002]

i run in wals whenever i do something



[snarkbaited]

@superchaz2002

make sure your wall is set as solid

[superchaz2002]

i glitched

[realdenni199]

Wtf mate. I get stuck when i jump and run in a wall.

[ActionStar00]

i made it able to jump, but it caused glitches in my game. whenever it touches an enemy its an automatic game over, and if i say i want to go back to the title screen, it restarts the level. help, please?

[SShinystars]

why put such a sad song? lol! Nice awesome! Thanks a whole bunch!

[CABabc12345]

[hellopants123]

[HARDSTYLEMYLIVE]

i did exactly what you have done but it won't jump;c

[JoshAgulto]

ur awesome

[TheswayofGrass]

Hey, i did what was in this video, but it jumps as many times as you want if you keep hitting the up button, even in air. How to stop it?

[ThatsReallyCrazy]

my dude goes through the floor when he lands... help anyone?

[JackTheNinjaDucky]

Basic movement functions won't work for me, my player is able to double jump and the blocks under him sometimes get desroyed :( luv the tutorial though :)

[LSULLY98]

how do you make the jump higher and slower?

[engel783]

i understood "everything"

[gabetodd200]

dude in works!but the jump go's 1 mila meter in the air!

[LSULLY98]

@gabetodd200 same with mine

[NOTYURBISNESS]

yay thanks

[ReinardBruzo]

What is the song name?

[NOTYURBISNESS]

@ReinardBruzo the voyage home

[SamJB1997]

My dude looks like he's on a trampoline and doesn't stop bouncing ¬,¬'

[teizxamos]

why does my player object just float away after jumping and not come back down?

[ScorpionTheMaster]

good tutorial ,thanks for make this video :D

[TheValent57]

Thank you

[TheKarassu]

Dude, the music is some kinda creepy...

[PivotOPS]

my character have unlimited jumps,i only want him to be able to jump when hes back on the ground again:( plz help:)

[kitek1999]

I love how The people who made game maker, make the simplest things the hardest to do xD

[thepezdispenser]

One thing i miss in the tutorial is a short description to each step of the proces. For eksample why do set "if collision" to relative and so on.

[Greenday1605]

I can't understand what he is doing. The cursor goes to fast.

[psp3000nerd]

OMG TY TY TY TY TY TY SO MUCH!!!! THAT FIXED THE UNLIMITED JUMPING 8O

;)  THANKS MAN YOUR THE BEST!

[OnePathToFollow]

Thanks! You solved my problem of unlimited jumping :)

[MikeMars1225]

I guess this question is more for the advanced types of movement and stuff. But I'm making a Castlevania game, and the sprites change depending on the movement you make. I can't figure out how to make the sprites change with the movement (i.e. going from standing still animation to running animation). Could you help me out, or refer me to a video that explains how to do stuff like that? I would REALLY appreciate it.

[apemannen3000]

@MikeMars1225 Just make it that when you press left or right the sprite changes to the running sprite (and when you don't the sprite changes to a not moving sprite).

[Kwijtraakman]

it doesent work

[sonicfanyeah]

lol gotta love your tags btw great tutorial

[777teg]

thanks? thanks! THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS! lol, space core FTW. but, i do appreciate this tut. thanks!

[nofood36]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. My characters kept falling through the floor. Lol. Now I know why.. ^^;

[Scribblenautsguides]

It works (on GM8 I'd like to point out), my only issue is that when the character lands on the ground, they can't move left or right. How do I stop them from falling?

[username7937]

thank you so much this really helped I tried using a bunch of cheap shortcuts like when player collides with invisible dummy then send it down. and other stuff.

[dukmuk]

plz slow down next time i couldnt keep up :S

[jkajewski1]

thankyou so much

[OhMyGolem]

Drag and drop... -_-

[themiista]

my dude goes thru the floor :( how come?

[thegtasaking1]

the music make me cry XD

[TheEpicNinja10]

Tyvm for this guide it helped me so much!!!!! u rock!!!!

[Cola160]

How do i make my player jump lower?

[WUTprojects]

@Cola160

Make the gravity higher, or the up-key's vertical speed lower.

I guess.. :D

[TheDarkvolt]

Thanks for the tutorial. It really did help :)

[Jgdu68]

Thank

[dmancorrigan36]

my charactor just hits the th wall and dosent move and yes i set speed and direction

[zu3d1]

why are people saying it doesnt work on game maker 8 all you have to do is follow it egzactly and it works it worked for me so it should work for you

[blazeml111]

how do i stop my player from jumping infinitly?

[pireninja]

@blazeml111 same problem

[wajs102]

i need help im making a mortal kombat game but my player falls throught the ground because i just put a background i didnt put any objects on bottom how can i fix it without using objects on bottom.

[bobme5]

@wajs102 Just make invisible, tiny objects on the bottom. There's no way to absolutely none. However, Mortal Kombat does have terrain. Keep that in mind.

[13thanimedragon]

@wajs102 You just put invisable blocks on the bottom of the screen.

[compidokink]

@wajs102 Do what bobme5 said but make sure you put them as solid objects

[sparshrawt]

@wajs102 please help iam not create jumping in game maker i can show your video but not happen

[noobsdumb]

THANK YOUSOOO MUCH!!!! 

[fallengod109]

After My character jumps and lands he can no longer move unless I jump again.

[DimSimCard]

doesnt work

od what i see through comments it doesnt work on gamemaker 8

[111konrad111]

is this game maker 8 its odnt work ;(

[111konrad111]

dont work

[simonskovbo]

Thanks for the help! but ... i think i works better if you, when you set the object to stop moving when release right/left, pick the 'move fixed' tool and set the object to move in direction 000010000 (the center button) at speed 0. Else (if you use the 'set the horizontal speed') the object will move strange in the game...

[avenged7ex]

for me it wobbles a bunch of times then breaks through the ground

[trumany123]

I made Sonic jump but it does not stop at the platform ... what should I do?

[GreenInvaders]

How can you decrease the height of the jump?

[noobsdumb]

@GreenInvaders edit the player object, go to the step event, go to the 'set the gravity' one (2nd one down) and then change the gravity higher to make it stop earlier :D

[TinkertoyENT]

pepole plox have the spirte and object made before u start the vid

[rozzers3]

thanks alot, it works really well

[DrThornZilla2]

best vid  helped so much thanks

[gadgetguy12345]

is this game maker pro? or is it just advanced mode?

[yit2525]

i have a two part character and i used these codes for both parts but when i try to move the body part flys off and goes to the ground and moves around on the ground when i push left or right but the legs just stay there runing in place and if i jump at the very start both parts just fly off into space how do i fix this??

[nocll23]

@yit2525 LOL MUHAAHAHHAHAHHAH no offence just wanted a great laugh

[HeyzDexy]

@yit2525 why did you give the limbs gravity?

[yit2525]

@HeyzDexy i thought i was suppoused to so they would jump

[HeyzDexy]

@yit2525 My game uses a "main body part" with limbs, you create the main part as you would normally, giving it movement and gravity etc.

for the arms and legs just add code: "x=player.x+4" and "y-player.y" for example. (Put that on the END STEP event)

I can explain it more thoroughly if you'd like to add me on msn for a conversation and examples if you'd like.

[vamplord23]

umm... it works, but if i press up while i'm in the air, it jumps again, no matter how many times press it.

[vamplord23]

umm... it works, but if i press up while i'm in the air, it jumps again, no matter how many times i jump.

[alexlinhho]

i have a question after i jump and land i cant move unless when im jumping and moving at the same time and land still moving i can move. How can i fix that?

[thejadenmaster]

D; didint work D;

[AZNjimmyKID]

if you want to make it double just put else after wards and place the jump thing again

[Pokeplaya128]

@AZNjimmyKID yes but then you would be able to jump whenever you want even when in the air.

[AZNjimmyKID]

@Pokeplaya128 oh really thanks i just now realized

[Lol2Girls]

nice thx

[DA6Productions]

Great tutorial, just one question: My character had unlimited jumps. How do I fix this? I made another object jump with this same tutorial, and it can only jump once! Is there a step I have missed? Pls help!

[Frepor2320]

@DA6Productions I have the same problem!!! Why do they have unlimited jumps??

[MovieGuy250293]

Heey there.. i didn't use this particularl tutorial for jumping but i really need help..

i've made my character jump and it works.. but when she's in mid air.. it takes about a whole 10 seconds for it to come back to the ground, how can i make it come down really fast...

what am i doing wrong? how can i fix this?

[TheFallenEcho]

@MovieGuy250293 you need to put gravity on your char hav you done this?

[Scarney92]

@MovieGuy250293 Hey man i followed this tutorial here because i've tried sooo many other methods but when i was done me character went way too high and took years to come down try this...u know how he tells u to set gravity twice the first time is (direction:270,gravity:0.5) and second (direction:270,gravity:0)? well if u change the gravity on the second one from 0 to like 5 you'll have a smaller jump and therefore quicker! the higher the number the smaller and quicker the jump. hope this helped

[draakfire]

nice tutorial dude

[m03hawkman]

My guy sticks to the wall when I don't release the left or right arrows. Is there any way to fix this?

[TheFallenEcho]

@m03hawkman dont do stop cgar ill show you what t do ill do a tut in about 2 mins

do you know how to make this??

[ostefimseren]

[Bl0ckhe4d]

How do i remove wall jumping?

[Sanderke123]

Hi thanks for the tutorial..!

[bobme5]

@Sanderke123 You're welcome. :D

[thegtasaking1]

@bobme5 i need help how can i control my player when i play the game?

[1998heroes]

@thegtasaking1 [Up] [Down] [Left] [Right]

[thegtasaking1]

@1998heroes ok thanks i understand those

[MrBlackeyes11]

@bobme5 how can i make the player jump then fall right away it only floats down

[ThatOneEmoKidd]

doesn't work or help. used a registered Game maker 6. exactly how you did it.

[lightupmanproduction]

Okay i need help i whenever my guy jumps he falls through the ground

[bobme5]

@lightupmanproduction You have collision stop on your ground objects, correct?

[jakomali]

Doesnt work at me. It doesnt jump high

[bobme5]

@jakomali Change a few things and it can jump as high as you need. :/

[MrSintendo]

@bobme5 Epic fail on tutorial, Won't move, Dissapears when i jump.

[bobme5]

@MrSintendo Epic fail on following tutorial, my good sir.

[MrSintendo]

@bobme5 I followed everything you said, For it to work i had to make it move in a direction to work.

[TheTD3000]

this doesnt work u have 2 add (collision with wal)l then (move to contact) put direction and then 12 then done! it works!

[Tesuki1]

Hey, I've got a problem. You know how you set the direction of the gravity to 270? Well, I'm making a 3D FPS game, so the direction you stated makes my character slide to the left. Setting the direction of the gravity to 0 sends him sliding forward. Have any suggestions on how I can find the direction to go upwards? Like a dll for Zgravity or something?

[bobme5]

@Tesuki1 I've never done any 3D games so I can't help with that, sorry.

[Runezero272]

ive got the same problem can u tell me what i should do to resolve this problem

[mr1337bot]

Plz reply.... wats with the clinging of the walls thing? how do you fix it? and im not tryin to be mean

[bobme5]

@mr1337bot I'm not sure how to fix it, sorry. I don't use gamemaker anymore, and I don't remember much about it. Perhaps someone on the forums or someone else in the comments can answer this for you.

[Ppnjelly]

chars keep falling and can't walk

[bobme5]

Almost 30,000 views !!! Thanks everyone :] <3

[mmmmkmm]

i would like to know, why you have to select those controls. It doesnt tells a lot, if you just show thats those controls who counts, to make an object jump.

[bobme5]

@mmmmkmm The buttons you use don't matter at all, if that's what you mean.

[MrCandyfromstrangers]

Everything works, but when my character starts to move left, and I quickly release the key and start moving right, he gets stuck in the floor... Have any idea what went wrong?

[haloman800]

Hey man, I have couple questions.

In my game, I have walls, but my character can cling to them... how can I get this to stop?

And...

Randomly, I'll jump super high and without end until I release the space bar, how can I fix this? I followed your steps exactly. GM8.

THANK YOU!

[TheMusicKing0906]

WORKS AWSOME MAN YOU ROCKS

[Killeritachi9]

nice i finaly get it now

[ejho2000]

i tried 7 different vids but they didnt work urs did thogh thx

[rhettnick]

mine did not work because he jumps up and never comes down

[MatthewCenance]

@rhettnick Please make sure annotations are enabled, or else this video will be horrible and make utterly no sense.

[faret1214]

HOLY MONKEY KICKING MY DOGGY IN THE FACE!!!oh srry caps lol ummm thats alotta steps but thanx <:3

[bobme5]

@faret1214 Oh yes, it takes awhile.

[KB8LA]

Terrible video IMO...

Moving way to fast and because it's al stamped in a little window you can't see shit...

[bobme5]

DEAL WITH IT. >:|

Lol, your supposed to be reading more than watching, silly.

[oftenlostinwhat]

@KB8LA try the pause butten :3

[TheToonaholic]

It worked well. Thanks.

[lurviQ]

you can hang on the walls.

[GreyRWolff]

the only problem i have is when i turn in mid-jump, i drop to the ground, but this still helped a whole lot

[pundarungen]

Thanks it worked

[TechnoAFG]

even though i had to pause the video like twenty times to be able to see what you were doing....IT WORKED so THANK ALOT MAN :D

5* and subbed

[1996quique]

why people dont create and object and click new and create the sprite and make there life easy

[randomcrapmovies]

Helps. It works so well other than the fact that if you constantly press spacebar (My jump control) the object decends slower

How can I make it so that you can only jump once. If
