Hi there, I'm trying to make a decent jump function, and it does run when I'm pressing spacebar (like intended), but my entity flies extremely fast (compareable with Superman I even think ^^) when jumping. I really have no idea what it is wrong the function, if someone knows please say so .

Here's the script (only the relevant parts of the script, with red the really relevant parts):



///////////////////////////////

var jumpheight = 0;

// state 5:
jumping ////////////////////////////////////////////

function jump()
{
jumpheight = 1;
my.ANIMATION += 8*time_step;
ent_animate(me,"jump",my.ANIMATION,0);
while (1)
{
jumpheight += 8*time_step;
c_move(me, vector(0,0,jumpheight), NULL, GLIDE);
if (my.ANIMATION > 50) { break;}
wait(1);
}

while (my.ANIMATION > 50)
{
jumpheight -= 8*time_step;
c_move(me, vector(0,0,jumpheight), NULL, GLIDE);
if (jumpheight <= 0)
{
break;
jumpheight = 0;
my.ANIMATION = 0;
my.STATE = 1;
}
wait(1);
}
}

function camera_follow(ENTITY* ent)
{
vec_rotate(camera.x,ent.pan); // rotate the camera position with the player
vec_set(camera.pan,vector(ent.pan,-10,0)); // look in player direction, slighty down
while(1)
{
camera.x=mywizard.x-(100)*cos(mywizard.tilt)*cos(mywizard.pan);
camera.y=mywizard.y-(100)*cos(mywizard.tilt)*sin(mywizard.pan);
camera.z=mywizard.z-(50)*sin(mywizard.tilt) + 50;

mywizard.pan = camera.pan;
mywizard.tilt = camera.tilt;
wait(1);
}
}
