Do something like:

[forever]
[][if <not <touching [Ground]?>]
[][][change y by (-5)]
[][end if]
[end forever]

Does that work?

As Jonathonpb shows above, you need to change the Y position of your sprite when it is not touching whatever you decide is "ground". There are a number of ways to do this...using the Motion block "Change Y by " is probably the easiest. For ground sensing, you can either use a color (with color sensing) or a sprite (with sprite touching sensing) or even a certain Y position of your sprite. It's up to you smile

If you need some examples, there are a bunch out there. Here's a small gallery of demos and tutorials you might find useful

There are more advanced ways of doing this, but the one previously mentioned is the easiest.
