Do you have a separate sensor sprite?

have it so that when you're touching the ground, yvel is set to

No.  I know it can be done without one.

Okay.
*optimizes script*
You'll need sensing costumes, then.
Copy the character sprite. Make a red line under the sprite about half the width of the sprite. Erase the character. OK. Do this for each side.

Now, add this script at the beginning of your loop:

switch to costume [sensor_top v]
if <touching [ground v]?>
 set [topsense v] to [1]
else
 set [topsense v] to [0]
end
switch to costume [sensor_right v]
if <touching [ground v]?>
 set [rightsense v] to [1]
else
 set [rightsense v] to [0]
end
switch to costume [sensor_bottom v]
if <touching [ground v]?>
 set [bottomsense v] to [1]
else
 set [bottomsense v] to [0]
end
switch to costume [sensor_left v]
if <touching [ground v]?>
 set [leftsense v] to [1]
else
 set [leftsense v] to [0]
end

if <(bottomsense) = [0]>
 change [vel v] by (-0.1)
 change y by (vel)
else
 set [vel v] to [0]
end

<<> and <(leftsense) = [0]>>

if <<(topsense) = [1]> and <(vel) > [0]>>
 set [vel v] to ((vel) * (-0.8))
end

My script should work with the color sensor block...

The issue is, when you aren't jumping, you'll always be sinking, so even if you're touching the ground and the yvelocity is 0, it will immediately be set to -1 unless you're jumping again. So, replace that part of the script with this:

if <key [up-arrow v] pressed?>
change [yv v] by (1)
if <not<touching color [#000000]?>>
change [yv v] by (-1)
end

Hope this helps!

The problem with that is I need the guy to fly. Darn this new scratcher status.

Hmm... Wait, he can! Try it...

Something still isn't working....

Is this a "build your own terrain" type game or is the stamping sprite only for testing?  In essence, is your sprite going to have to be able to detect slopes?

Yes, slope detection.  And it's not Build your own terrain, it's just for something like Worm Bridges.  But better.

If you don't want a sensor sprite, you could try playing around with this. It's a bit hard to use, and there's no swimming, but it's definitely a good base.

For the swimming it's just if touching blue change y by 1

You'd have to do a lot more changes than that to make swimming more realistic, and not just floaty running.

Could you help me then?
