How do you make a sprite jump while turning?

Heart333

So I decided to create a Geometry Dash type game on Scratch, but I have no idea what scripts to put to make the square jump and rotate! If you've ever played Geometry Dash before, then you know how when you touch the screen/press the spacebar the square jumps and rotates, then it falls back in the same position. When you press the spacebar again, it does the sequence all over again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In that case you should look inside this:

That's kinda what I wanted, except I wanted a jump that rotates a full 1/4 turn and that's it- it comes back down.
Play Geometry Dash and you'll see what I mean. Thanks for the tip though!

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [Up v] pressed?> then
repeat (10)
change y by (Anything)
turn ccw (10) degrees
    
end

    
end

    
end

end

Is this what you mean by turning while jumping ???

You could try something like:

when [whatever] key pressed
set [jumping?] to [1]
repeat (10)
change y by (10)
end
set [jumping?] to (0)

and this:

when green flag clicked
forever   
if <(jumping) = [1]> then
repeat (10)
    
turn cw (9) degrees
end

end

end

Maybe scratch should have an update with a block like:

turn () degrees while moving () steps

Please don't necropost. This topic is a few months old and you didn't add anything relevant.

Make your jumping program first, then find out how many frames exactly it takes to touch the ground after jumping. Then do the math, take 90 degrees and divide that by the number of frames it took. then add a block saying to turn that many degrees every frame.

It doesn't go back down so it doesn't count as a jump
