How do I Variable Jumpstrenght

Hi everyone !

i'm currently trying to finish my character gameplay ! but i've got some problem, due also i guess to the touch configuration

1 - My character should Jump with a variable jumpstrenght depending of how many time, you stay holding intouch.

The thing is, as i have set on "on any touch start" -> character Jump,

i don't know how having a robust system who calculate the correct jumpstrenght in real time during the same time i touch the screen. However there i have also seen something who stop the vector Y on anytouch end, but the problem is , in this case, the jump not look smooth during the fall it's not a natural curved line.

thanks for your help

i'm working/thinking on it, Maybe if i could be able to stop the vector Y "on any touch end" during a jump it could be a good alternative, like that i set a higher jumpstrenght value (the max), but i don't know if it's possible

Make a capx whit basic for recreate your scene so the most veteran or experience users will have more easy help you...

here is a starting point for you to try

hold, pause then release left mouse button to jump...

first press records time

release works out time mouse held

time held*1000 (in this case) sets the jump strength

simulate jump command

using latest beta - found at bottom of most pages under download

Firs tat all Thanks RamPackWobble for your time,

The things is with your solution even if it work nicely, it's not the kind of behavior i was expected.

after some test, i need to make in sort to stop the Vector Y on any touch end after a jump.

do you have any idea ?

thanks again for your help

Try - (not tested)

if sprite (jump) touched simulate jump button

if sprite button not pressed

and

player is jumping---- set Y vector to 0
