What techniques do you use to jump after leaving platform?

Hi there!

I want the player to be able to jump shortly after leaving the platform (the floor) and I've come up with a bunch of different solutions but none of them are perfect. Also, I want the player to be able to jump shortly before landing on the floor as well. Any advice or links?

Thanks in advance,

Tommy

First of all, thanks for the link. It's much appreciated :)

It was similar to the solution I'm already using.

I am already using the overlapping at offset as well but I don't like it because there are so many different objects I have to check if the player is overlapping. I use an invisible tiled background with solid behavior as ground. Also, I use an invisible tiled background with jump-thru behavior as ground. The problem is that I have a bunch of different moving objects with the sine behavior for example so I have to check if the player is overlapping tons of objects at offset. Or is it possible to check if the player is overlapping "floor" = all objects with either solid or jump-thru behavior?

Thanks again :)

You can add all floor objects to a family to use in overlapping checks.

If you have tiledbackgrounds and sprites, you will need two families, as a family can only contain objects of one type.

dop2000 - It's so obvious now when you say it. I can't believe I didn't even think of families. A thousand thanks :)
