Gliding/Floating

I want my platformer to have the ability to glide. While button is down, gliding starts, when button is not down, he starts falling. Any way i can do this?

You need a glide and fall animation. I would set the animation image point below the animation at the level you want the player to appear to be gliding and above the image for falling.

On Button pressed: Play Glide animation.

On Button Released: Play fall animation.

Image points are useful for special effects on animations.

what about the gravity

what about the gravity

Unless you are going to use physics for all your sprites you don't use gravity.

You make it appear to have gravity by adjusting the speed of the fall and using image points.

If you want to use physics you need to study the physics tutorials and examples included with C2.

make sense. anyway to elaborate?

Look at the jump and fall settings for your sprites. Those can both be adjusted to make it appear the player is gliding.

It can also be done using the X and Y coordinates and moving the player.

You are going to have to dig into the tutorials and learn that stuff because if you just use other people's CAPX without understanding it you are not progressing in your game design skills.

alright man

alright man

Did you see I fixed the head for your robot platform shooter so it doesn't over rotate?

nope

nope

Well if you are going to post questions you should go read the responses.
