So I came along another problem. After implementing my crouch function and my footsteps (thanks to badapple for his code contribution), I came up to my final basic movement system thingo. Jumping.

I've searched around but surprisingly I haven't found any code. I'm trying not to use any templates for my game, as I'm trying to learn as I go.

Anyway, I'm using the movement code from one of the workshops right now, so it'll probably help if I list the code here along with what I've tried to do:

Movement Code
Code:

---

		vec_set (temp.x, my.x); // trace 10,000 quants below the player
		temp.z -= 10000;
		temp.z = -c_trace (my.x, temp.x, ignore_me | ignore_passable | use_box);
		temp.x = movement_speed * (key_w - key_s) * time;
		temp.y = movement_speed * (key_a - key_d) * 0.6 * time;
		c_move (my, temp.x, nullvector, ignore_passable | glide);

---

Jump Code
Code:

---

function jump()
{
	var playerisjumping;
        var jumpgravity = 5;
	while (playerisjumping == 0)
	{
		c_move (player,nullvector,vector(0,0,jumpgravity*time),IGNORE_YOU|GLIDE);
		jumpgravity -= 0.01;
		if (jumpgravity == 0)
		{
			playerisjumping = 1;
		}
		sleep(0.01);
	}
	playerisjumping = 0;
	jumpgravity = 5;
}

---

Simple second attempt at jump code
Code:

---

function jump()
{
		c_move (player,nullvector,vector(0,0,jumpgravity*time),IGNORE_YOU|GLIDE);
}

---

The only thing I can notice is that the player is put down on the ground after each sleep command since the movement code isn't cancelled out, but I haven't really been able to fix that.

How about trying wait(1) instead of sleep.

NOTE: Sleep is a pre GS v6.3 function that will be soon discontinued altogether.

The new sleep is wait(-1) for seconds where as wait(1) is for frame.

You need to use the wait in a while loop otherwise wierd things do happen
and can even crash your game.

Please read your manual about wait().
