I know people will say go through the tutorials but as soon as I start I lose concentration. At the moment I am using:
Code:
if (key_space)
{
me.z +=20; //if space is pressed jump
ent_animate(me,"jump",jump_percentage,ANM_CYCLE);
}
if (me.z > 25.1)
{
c_move(me,vector(0,0,-6.5),nullvector,GLIDE); //if the player is above z.20 then glide down at 0.8 speed, enable collision
}
I want to make the model jump quite high and then glide down but this allows space to be held down and I want it so you can only press spacebar once so I assume I use a while statement I just dont know where?
When pressing the jump key first test whether the entity is on ground if not, do nothing else set a variable jump_strength at a certain value above the gravity value insert the variable at the z position of the move vector in c_move then reduce the value of the variable jump_strength, until its almost null, then set it to null and, don't forget to time correct it..
I dont suppose you could merge it with the code I posted? so that he falls gradually.
EDIT: also I have trouble concentrating on the template/workshops but if I actually got through them all would that give me enough knowledge to make a basic third person game? I will work through them later on when I get time because I really want to get into this but I just find it hard its like reading a book or something -_-
