How to make my character float in the air?

I want to use an umbrella...

I would suggest using balloons, for they have more floating power.

But seriously, I guess floating in this case means falling at a slower pace, so all you have to do is reduce the falling speed.

I don't know what kind of game you are trying to make and what behaviour you are using, so I can't be more specific.

yes, i want to reduce the falling speed pressing the button space. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> can you teach me?

You'll need to give more information. But I'm assuming you are using the Platform behavior, so just do

Space is Down -> Player Set Max Fall Speed to 100

Else -> Player Set Max Fall Speed to 500

Numbers are guesses, you can change them.

really thanks <3 but I still have a doubt. in the air a I can press and hold the space button frequently. I want to press just once each jump

Gve the player an instance variable called Floated with the type set to boolean. Then, do these events:

On Space Pressed and Player Is Not On Floor (do is on floor then press I to invert) and Floated is False

• > set Floated true
• > set Max Fall Speed to 100

On Space Released

• > set Max Fall Speed 500

Player Is On Floor and Trigger Once

• > set Floated False

I can't guarantee this will work, it's all if the top of my head and I can't test it.

Space is pressed

character is falling

> toggle boolean

-- boolean is set

set maxfallspeed to 100

set animation "umbrella"

-- x(invert) boolean is set

> set maxfallspeed to 500

> set animation "fall"

character is on floor

-> set boolean false

can you send a image please? i am really newbie

i understood that i need to put a variable boolean in my character.

but i did not understand

-- boolean is set

and

-- x(invert) boolean is set

where do i find this? and all this part it's in just one event?

first event:

Space is pressed

character is falling

toggle boolean

-- boolean is set

set maxfallspeed to 100

set animation "umbrella"

-- x(invert) boolean is set

set maxfallspeed to 500

set animation "fall"

second event:

character is on floor

-> set boolean false

and what is the meaning of these symbols? -- and > ?

-- stands for a subevent

stands for an action

to check if the boolean is set

add a condition.

player - is boolean instance variable set

to check if it isn't set

invert this condition by right clicking it and selecting invert

is it correct?
