jumping on the enemy problem

Hi.

I'm following Ashley's 'How to make a Platform game' Tutorial,

and I'm a little stuck.

Ashley's tutorial code for jumping on the enemy looks like this:

mine looks like this,

and results in this:

Can anybody see where I've gone astray?

thanks

Hmm, looks fine to me. Any chance of uploading your file to dropbox and post a link here so I can have a look?

Try removing the "Platform is falling" (?)

It may be because when the collision happens , the player is on the enemy , therefore , it detects it as on land ...

Also , In Ashleys Tutorial , is the Slime does the slime have a solid or platform behavior ?

Whiteclaws

Well, his character IS falling in the gif, so it should work. And he probably doesn't want you to be able to kill the enemy at the start of a jump (on the way up).

Hmmm , it may be , the best solution would be uploading a small capx , with all your player/slime-related , it may be something in your behaviors or code ...

Thanks, here's the capx

Yep , as I suspected , just remove the solid behavior from the enemy sprite and everything will work fine !

Oh man!

And that solves another problem where I had 2 enemies patroling the same area and they were getting stuck.

Thank you for your efforts.

Ah, yeah the platform behaviour will make your objects collide automatically, no need to add solid behaviour, only add it to ground and wall objects. (and similar things)

This is also true for the 8dir behaviour and the car behaviour.
