Hi,

I have a physics "PH_SPHERE" entity "player_ball" of which x, y, z speeds are set via key pressed within while loop. What is the best option to make it "jump".

I tried changing player_ball.z and c_move, no results. BTW the "ph_setgravity" is set to -386 on z axis.

However, using the following gets the job done, but with time_step it jumps different heights on different max fps.



Ans for my doubt, is there a "best practice on jumping"? Any suggestions?

Edit:
@Hummel: You're right.

c_move has no effect on physic entities and to change the x,y,z position you have to disable its physical properties (check "phent_enable") temporarily. phent_addvelcentral/-centralforce is the right way.

dont use time_step - it´s a force-vector not a speed-vector wich moves the entity during several frames

You use

only once, not in a loop. So no value has to be rational with the framerate. If you use it in a loop, you have to make it rational like that:
