How would you add a time delay, because if u press space bar to much, it starts to fly...

[TheThomasVestergaard]

@solloman You probably want to add an player action called something like "Jumping" which is set when he jumps put back to "Standing" when he lands. Then when you hit space, you only apply the physics if the player actions is NOT "Jumping".

I hope it makes sense.

I cant find the 'Game Starter Template' in Visual Studio 2010 or 2008.

@TheThomasVestergaard How would you write that in code?

[solloman]
