How do I make a sprite jump?

What is the best way to do a standard jump for sprites in Construct?

Use the "Platform"Behavior

Is this incompatible with the 8 Direction behavior? I currently am using the 8 direction behavior to do a simulated left/right movement, but also need jumping action.

I added in the Platform behavior, but the sprite doesn't "jump" at all.

One can use the action "Set vector Y" from the 8 direction behavior.

Make sure to set this value to negative so the object will jump up.

Just use the Platform Behavior it's much better for controls get rid of the 8 control thingy.

The Platform Behavior doesn't work for what I'm trying to do. I have a character that is hanging from objects and "jumps" from one object to the next, so the character is never standing on a solid.

Put physics behaviors on the player and use Impulse at angle to crate a jump effect.

Where do you get Impulse?

Add Physics behavior to your sprite, then add this action:

Sprite-> Physics Apply Impulse

The original question was about the Platform behavior.

If character is on the ground, simply use "Platform Simulate Jump"

If character is not on the ground, you can do something like "Platform Set Vector Y to (Self.Platform.VectorY-500)"
