I am making a platformer game in Flash (AS3) and the code I have below works. I want my character to jump high enough to allow it time to reach a platform. The only problem with code below is the speed at which it jumps up and down and the height of the jump. Tthe space bar is what triggers the function to run.
Please help as I would much appreciate it! :)
Player.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_MoveInDirectionOfKey);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_SetKeyPressed);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fl_UnsetKeyPressed);
function fl_MoveInDirectionOfKey(event:Event)
{
if (spacePressed){
var gravity:Number = 9.8;
var jumping:Boolean = false;
var jumpVar:Number = 0;
if(jumping != true)
{
jumpVar = -70;
jumping = true;
}
if(jumping)
{
spacePressed = false;
Player.y += jumpVar;
jumpVar += gravity;
}
Player.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, drop);
function drop(event:Event)
{
Player.y -= jumpVar;
jumpVar -= gravity;
if(Player.y > 350){
Player.y = 350;
}
}
Player.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_MoveInDirectionOfKey);
Player.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_MoveInDirectionOfKey);
/*var frameNumb:Number = 0;
Player.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, jumpup);
spacePressed = false;
function jumpup(event:Event)
{
while(frameNumb < 30){
spacePressed = false;
Player.y -= 1;
frameNumb += 0.5;
}
Player.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, jumpup);
Player.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, jumpdown);
function jumpdown(){
while(frameNumb > 0){
spacePressed = false;
Player.y += 1;
frameNumb -= 0.5;
}
}
}*/
}
if (leftPressed)
{
Player.x -= speed;
Player.gotoAndStop("left");
}
if (rightPressed)
{
Player.x += speed;
Player.gotoAndStop("right");
}
}
Thanks
