Scratch

I prefer:

when green flag clicked
set (y velocity) to [0]
forever
if <touching color [#36E813]?>//Change the colour in this block to the colour of the ground.
  if <key [up arrow v] pressed?>
  set [y velocity v] to (10)
  else
  set [y velocity v] to (1)
  end
 else
   change [y velocity v] by (-1)
end
change y by (y velocity)
end

My newer method used here is based off of this, but uses the new variable "energy" to determine the power of the jump. Other than that, I usually use this one.

I find that a set y velocity to 0 block works better then a set y veloctiy to 1 block.

But then the sprite won't be able to rise to the top of the ground when it goes under

Awesome. You can do this too:

whengfclicked
Forever
If <touching color [ground color]?>
Change y by (2)
Else
Change y by (-1)
End
End
Stop script

how do you move then

I don't get it. You can't put anything after a "C Forever Block".

don't put the end on forever 

fixed the script

Hello, I'm new here. I'm having a little bit of trouble with creating a game. It has to do with firstly my life variable and making the character's life varaible decrease by five when he is touching the baddies. Can you help me?

when gf clicked
forever
  if <touching [baddie v]>
    change [lives v] by (-5)
    wait until <not <touching [baddie v]>>
  end
end

Why not make your own topic? You're more likely to get better help and advice.

And yes, you can by using variables. Make whatever keys you are using, then get the keys to change the variable, then get it to move variable steps.

I have tried the first and third of these scripts and neither seem to work. The first one, nothing happened AT ALL and the third, the sprite floated up and up and didn't stop until it reached the top of the screen.

Ok, i will try again.

Not if the post is still relevant, which in this case, it still looks pretty relevant to me.

We actually frown upon attacking others about necroposting when it might not be the case. It's just better to flag the comment and let the Scratch Team decide if it's a bad necropost or not.

To me, it looks very irrelevant, cause its old and there is a lot of answers already.

Not to me. Old doesn't mean the thread itself is closed to posting. Next time, it's better to just report the post and let the Scratch Team handle it.
