Hi! I'm making a platformer for the first time, and I'm trying to make my sprite jump smoothly. I've looked at different forums and stuff, but I'm having a hard time making my sprite jump diagonally and smooth. I don't really want to take anything from anyone's project. Any code that might help? I want to keep it simple. Thanks!

THis is a good place to start. It covers everything for a platformer. Just take your time going through it. Otherwise, we'll have to see what you have so far and try to adapt a jump script for you.

Edit:
I had a simple jump project in my forum help studio but best to follow the above tutorial I linked.

Here is a script that will make your sprite jump smoothly:

…rather than just doing this:

…which does not work well AT ALL. Hope this helps! Can't wait to see your project!

Thanks! I may use this in the future, but for right now I'm trying to keep the code fairly simple.

This is the simplest way i can think of

If your head hits ground, you fall back down. If your feet hit ground, you stop jumping
