How To Jump

Hi gamers! Jumping is almost required in all arcade games right? And gamemaker is great for making arcade games! So i figured I should make a tutorial about jumping.(in steps)

1.)make two sprites the obj_guy & obj_land
2.) under obj_guy choose the create event: Set gravity
gravity   : .5
direction : 270
2A.)the last action for this event is a variable: Set variable
variable: jump
value    : 0
3.)the second event is "press (jump button)"
test variable:
if var jump is equal to 0
Start of block

set vertical speed to -10
Set var jump to 1

End of block
if var jump is equal to 1
Start of block

exit this event

end of block

should look like that.

4.) now the last event is collision with the obj_land
set vertical speed to 0
set var jump to 0


That's what you need to know about jumping. I'm sure thereare multiple other ways, but this is the easiest i've seen by far.
Hope you enjoyed this post and
Happy Gaming!
