How do i make a sprite jump?
Hello I am fairly new to scratch and was wondering how to make my sprite jump. I have seen archmages example of that on the forums but i need some other code on the <when green flag clicked> code line. I just want my sprite to jump up maybe 20-25 steps and then go down in about 3 or 4 seconds please someone help me!

Re: How do i make a sprite jump?
Try this:
When space key pressed*
repeat 5
change y by 5
endrepeat
repeat 25
change y by -1
endrepeat
Does that work?
*assuming that you use the space key to jump.

I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

You could put them all at the beginning before the forever loop.

Re: How do i make a sprite jump?
I put the variables there because it made more sense when reading, you can just make them simple numbers. OR you can make the variables, and define them using the
<set{ }to(
block. And you'd just change the color to the color of the land you're using.

Re: How do i make a sprite jump?
Please don't spam. And for animating, you might want to put a <wait( )secsc> block between costume blocks.

Re: How do i make a sprite jump?
I know three ways to make a sprite jump.
1. The N00B way:
2. The Beginner Way:
3. The Advanced Way:
I strongly suggest The Advanced Way. But, it may be hard to understand, it still works.

Why don't you try putting the [wait ( ) secs] block in-between the [switch to costume [ ] ]

Are they moving platforms? If not, make sure they are the same sprite as the ground sprite. If they are not the same sprite, make sure that the player is "in-air" color coded, and the platforms are the same color as the original ground. If they ARE moving platforms, then I do not know how to help.
Hope it helps!
