How do I make a fighting game like jump?

Hi,

I'm trying to use the platformer behavior for creating a 1vs traditional fighting game but the jump is an issue since the platform behavior allows you to change the trajectory mid-air. What I want is after the jump forward(or backwards) input the player jumps X distance without being able to change direction while on air.

Any ideas on how to approach this? I tried stuff but nothing works for me.

Thanks in advance guys!

Example c3p

Removed the default controls of the platformer behavior and used an instance variable to set the direction where to jump to.

It is not perfect, it currently requires to first go in a direction (left or right) before jumping, but it still does display the idea on how to do it.

I tried and it works great, so thanks :)! but as you mention it requires to press right and then jump in that order, mmm maybe there's a way to have the same effect with just a diagonal ↗ input?
