Platform Jump sustain: Is it possible to reset it mid-air?

While jump sustain is a cool feature, it gives me some problems, for example:

A platform character who can climb ladders-> When on a ladder, platform behaviour gets disabled and a vertical-only 8direction is enabled.

If I jump off the ladder, I disable the 8 way and re-enable platform, but if I have already "spent" my jump sustain jumping into the ladder, since I didn't touch ground, and despite the platform behaviour having been toggled off and on, I still technically am on the same jump, so I can't jump off the ladder with jump sustain.

I'm thinking of making my own jump sustain via events and timers, but if possible I'd like to use C2's tools whenever possible. I tried setting jump sustain to 0 while on the ladder and restoring it when jumping off but it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Momio you could enable double jump after climbing the ladder then disable it when you want to.

Between the time I posted this thread and read your answer, I did my own jump sustain mechanic independently of platform behaviour...it was easier (and less of a mess) than I thought!

But that's clever and could be simpler and more clean than my solution, since I don't contemplate (real) double jumping on my project I never thought of that, thanks!

(Although, upon testing, I run into the same(ish) problem...If I jump from ladder to ladder (or from wall to wall, I need this for walljumps too), I can't reset double jump to perform additional jumps without touching ground, oh, well...back to square one, I guess! )

Oh OK good luck with your project!
