Change this condition

+ player1_MSK: is on ground

to this

+ player1_MSK: [negated] is jumping

+ player1_MSK: [negated] is falling

"is on ground" sets the vars to zero when jumping because is seems that the object is still considered on the ground at the beginning of the jump.

Also I found a typo on the "player2" event sheet, on event 3.

+ System: Else

-> PlayChar2: Set angle to 0

-> System: Disable group "P1 F Right"

-> System: Enable group "P1 F Left"

I'm pretty sure those "P1"s need to be "P2", otherwise it causes the player1 to bounce in the air when jumping over player2.

I think the problem is the variables never get set to 1. All the events that set the variable require that doublejump=1 including the event that sets doublejump to 1.

This works:

+ System: Start of layout

-> Registry: Open key "Control Panel\Desktop" under root HKEY_CURRENT_USER

-> Text: Set text to Registry.ReadString("WallPaper")

Strings in Construct use double quotes. Single quotes are only for variable names.

[quote:1bvqi2tb]Using Davo's example, How would I get to rotate?
Just add this action to the 2nd event:
-> Body: Set angle to global('angle')[/code:1bvqi2tb]

Try "System.layername(1)", it's lowercase.

Here's Davids chain example translated into just events, if that helps.

I found a fix for the slowdown. It will be fixed when the next build of construct is released.

It will also fix the slowdowns described in these other topics:

http://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7346

http://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7305

/\-This also describes a workaround

If your project has a significant slowdown when using per pixel collisions then this bug probably is the cause.

Try clicking on "Angle: 0 (Right)" on the animator toolbar. That works for me.

I used PyShell. It allows you to explore python in construct much like the python command line app bundled with python.

Open PyShell.cap, add a Sprite and give it the Platform behavior.

Run the Layout and you will be presented with a prompt.

If you type dir() you will see a list that contains the names of all the objects.

dir(SpritePlatform) shows a list of all the python equivalences.

It's not listed in the script editor, but it's:
SpritePlatform.WallRight()[/code:1quy64uv]

Just keep track of the previous angle in a private variable like 'oldangle'. Then the delta angle would be Sprite.Angle-Sprite('oldangle').
+ System: Always (every tick) -> Text: Set text to "Angular Velocity: " & (Sprite.Angle-Sprite ('oldangle'))/TimeDelta -> Sprite: Set 'oldangle' to Sprite.Angle [/code:1xanolre]

Here's a way to get the correct z ordering:

+ System: Always (every tick)
-> Sprite4: Send to front
-> Terrain: Set collision mode to Bounding box

+ Sprite4: Sprite4 overlaps Terrain
+ Sprite4: Value 'z' Less than Terrain.Value('z')
+ Sprite4: Y Less than Terrain.Y
-> Sprite4: Place behind of Terrain 
 
+ System: Always (every tick)
-> Terrain: Set collision mode to Per Pixel
-> Sprite3: Place in front of Sprite4
