set [Yvelocity] to (0)

Bump

That doesn't provide gravity though.

I'm new, so please be more specific. Right now my script looks like this:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [ground v]>
set [yvelocity v] to 0 
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?>
set [y velocity v]
end
else
set [yvelocity v] to ((yvelocity) * (89))
end
end

Yes, but I forgot to put that in the script.

Everything else is just like it is above. Without the mistakes I made typing.

It jumps when I press up, and then it just slows to a halt, and doesn't come down. I think it's because of the [set [yvelocity v] to ((yvelocity) * (89))] block, but I'm not sure.

I think the issue is that the 89 in the "((y-vel) * (89)) should be a 0.89, unless that was just a typing mistake you made.

I never use that account on the forums... oops...

  set [yvelocity v] to (5)//Or whatever you have.
 else
  change [yvelocity v] by (-1)//Change this to change gravity's strength.
 end
end

What am I doing wrong? That doesn't provide any gravity at all.

Edited and fixed.

Anyway, the reason why your character never fell to the ground was because it would eventually set yvelocity to 0 and yvelocity wouldn't go negative, therefore causing the floating effect. You have to have
[change [yvelocity v] by (some negative number)] or else you will always get a floating effect.

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know, I fixed it all up using this script:

Thanks for all your help, though.
