Make A Jumping Platformer?

Construct 2 r54

I've been trying to make a platform game, but I've had trouble, since I couldn't find the jump effect in the Platform behavior. I've been using 8-Direction Movement, making the character bounce, but I'd like to learn how to make a platform object jump "the right way", rather than bouncing.

The jump effect by default is set to the Shift key. In the left hand side of the screen, there is a drop down under all the Platform properties that lets you turn off default controls and from there you can stipulate your own controls in an event sheet.

Use the "Simulate control" action under any object given the platform behavior.

My preference has always been spacebar :)

OK, thanks!!
