How do I platform jumping, after starting a fall.

How do I accomplish this without enabling double jump all the time?

I'm using platform controls currently.

Make an invisible sprite called "JumpZone" and place it where ever you want this behavior. Make an event that says when player is overlapping jumpZone and jump button pressed it simulates jump like normal. You might have to tweak the size, shape, and coding but it seems the easiest way outside complex math imho.

Thanks for the response, but I want this behavior throughout the entire game. So that's alot of extra objects just for jump zones.

Anyone else have anything?

I just set the Y vector of the platform object to negative jump strength - in this example, it can only be triggered when he's falling . <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
