Jump system with animation

[wizard576]

This is my first tutorial so I appologize if I'ts not clear. Ok the first thing we're gonna want to do is make 4 common event. 1 for each direction.

They should look something like this.

Spoiler

The only thing you will have to change in each event is jump. It will be +0,-2 for up, +2,+0 for right, +0,+2 for down, and -2,+0 for left.

Now that we have all 4 directions done we're gonna add 1 more common event. This event will be set to parallel process and you can name the switch whatever you like. I used activate jump system.

This event should look like this.

Spoiler

Now for the final event. This one you are gonna want to put on your starting map, and make sure it is set to parallel process.

The last one should look like this.

And thats it. I hope this was helpfull.

It's a nice idea, but I think you could clean up the coding a little more.

For example, why do you need 5 different common events? Do you really need one for each direction? The coding is fairly simple, so you could easily move them all into one common event.

Also, why turn on and off switch 3 just to show a simple animation? Since it only happens when you jump, just put the Show Animation in the first conditional branch. There's no need for the switch or second branch.

You have the basic concept down, but it can still be simplified a little. Try not to overdo it; it's not a big deal on such a simple common event, but in more complicated event systems it might be a pain. But good job nonetheless; it was a clear and easy to understand tutorial.

The reason for the on and off switch to show the animation is because if you don't use it. Try standing next to a wall and jumping. Your character won't jump but the animation will play. That is the reason for the switch.

Ah, that makes sense then.

When using this code my character jumps fine when going from side to side, but when he jumps up then he faces down when I hit the jump button again. He basically keeps jumping back and forth between the same two tiles. I am so confused...?

Isn't this like...
An event system :O?

Those should go in the Eventer's corner

It's a tutorial on how to make an event system. It's perfectly fine here.
It would also be fine in the Eventer's Corner, but there is no reason to move it.
