k could you possible post your jumping code?

Sure. Here it is slightly modified and noted so you know whats what.

var move_vec[3] = 0,0,0; //movement vectors
var jumping = 0;
var lives = 3;

action players_vehicle
{
player = me;
my.shadow = on;
my.grav_acc = 3; //acceleration for gravity
my.res = 0; //not sure what this is for. left it in for the heck of it
while (lives > 0)
{
vec_set(temp.x, my.x); // copies entity x/y/z/ to the temp vector
temp.z -= 99999; // we set the temp vector ? quants straight down, below the entity
result = c_trace(my.x,temp.x,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_PASSABLE|USE_BOX|USE_POLYGON|IGNORE_PUSH); // do a trace and make result = to the found value

if(result > 0) // chech to see if an obstacle was hit, if so start the falling action
{
move_vec.z -= my.grav_acc*time; // fall
my.res = -0;
}
if((result < 10) && (result > 0)) // check to see if the entity is on the ground, if so stop falling. This is the number to change if your entity floats on above the ground
{
move_vec.z = 0;
my.res = -0;
}
if((result < 1) && (result >0)) // check if entity is below ground (fallen through) if so rise up. Also a number to play with if your entity floats above the ground or double jumps. Should never be larger than the above number
{
move_vec.z += 10*time;
my.res = -0;
}


if (move_vec.z == 0) //so player can't double jump. Jump is over so reset to allow jumping again
{
jumping = 0;
}

if (key_j && jumping != 1) //if j key and player isnt in a jump let'em jump
{
jumping = 1; //keep'em from double jumping
move_vec.z += 95*time; // jump

}

move_vec = (key_cur + key_cul)*30 *time; //how far to move on the x axis
if (key_cur == 1){my.pan = 0;} //change pan depending on which key is pressed
if (key_cul == 1){my.pan = 180;}

c_move(me, move_vec, nullvector,IGNORE_PASSABLE|GLIDE); //actual movement
player_animate(); //go handle animations
handle_camera(); //go handle camera
wait(1);
}
}

Hope this helps ya out.

K, tried your code, the jumping is very glitchy and just goes to z+95 and then drops, should be much smoother. Thanks anyway

the z+95 is where u dictate how high you want to jump. To get smoother jumping u need 2 play with the numbers. It works for what I have.

Grimbers juming code doesn't work, but don''t let that put you off his tutorials thpeir still brilliant. I suggest you either make your own or use mine. See above.

Ok this is my code... Could you help me implement realistic jumping?....



Hope some1 can help me implement jumping...thanks a lot... DJB

I never had any trouble with Grimbers jump code. I've heard a lot of ppl say they have but its always worked for me. It could be smoother but it does work.

One thing to remember about Grimbers code is some of the code for falling is in the animation functions as well so you need to check that segment as well.

Can u help me with the above code?

Ya. I'm looking over it. Gimme a little time to test it. In the meantime here's the code from Grimbar's tuts that works for me. Like I said, it's not mine but it does work.

still can't get this to work. Do you think you could compile a level for me to see what it looks like when it works. Be great if you could, thanks.
