well i have this game that im trying to turn into a platform game its basically like a version of sonic and all that but i used shadow and i have alot of GIFs so when he runs he has different costumes when he attacks he has different costumes and so on. i have a background and i have stage and 1 platform where the guy stands on. there have been alot of problems with this thing that i havt fixed but i found loupols i guess. one aspect was that i wanted the player sprite to jump as like any other platform game and i also wanted him to fall if he wasnt standing on a platform so if he's like in mid-air he should fall to death. the problem was i made a script for hiim jumping but i realized when he jumps he is not touching a platform and because of the other script he falls because he isnt touching the platform, so thats very frustrating. and even if i take out the script of him falling then the sprite can basically move anywhere and everywhere without falling (not really any way of losing). another problem i have is basically i want him to jump from platform to platform, pretty typical. so how would i get him to do that? because right now  all i have is him being able to do some running and atacking on one platform but when i try to get onto another he just falls. some help would be greatly appreciated, btw im not using any like velocity x, velocity y scripts.

I'll be able to work better if you upload the project and I take a look at the scripts.

okay i put it on my profile so if you can look at it and help me that would be greatly appreciated

Make a variable called "Jumping?" and change the jumping script to this:


Then, add these parts to the top script in sprite 1:

It worked!!!! thanks melikecheese!!!!!! could you please explain to me how my sprite can go on other platforms? i wanted to add that feature in

Because right now if i want the shadow sprite to jump on a red platform like if i just make a red rectangle above the other one and i want the sprite to jump from one to the other it will just jump but nothing will happen when it touches the other red rectangle it justs reacts as if nothing was there

That's because your jumping script tells the sprite to go up a certain amount, then go down and then check for red. To change this, you'll have to make something a bit more complicated and you will have to change all your falling scripts.

could you  please show me the scripts that i would have to make that are as you say a bit more complicated. ill be willing to change all the falling scripts and any other things that i need to change to make the sprite land on the other platforms

That is what I've done but now the falling looks really strange...

EDIT: Wait, that doesn't work. I'll have another look at it tomorrow.
EDIT2: Fixed it

would it be a problem if i added a costume change when shadow jumps?

Try combing you work with mine at http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/unit057/2121909

how you do to do that the picture stand in a plataform??

The easiest way would be X and Y velocity, so I'm going to attempt to teach you how those work. Velocity is just speed in a direction. So y velocity is how fast your going up if the number is positive, or how fast your going down if the number is negative. X velocity is how fast your going right if positive or how fast your going left if negative. Tell me if you understand this so far.
