I want to know how to make a sprite jump and land on another platform. I also want to know how to walk on a platform (another sprite) without going through it. I just joined scratch and I am just learning the basics. Thanks! (P.S if you could give me the script that would be even more helpful)

Make the sprite detect if it is touching the platform. If the velocity is positive, let it pass through the platform. If negative or equal to zero, stop the sprite.

go to: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/42179122/

Here ya go. I definitely over-commented it, so feel free to only look at the comments for parts that don’t make sense to you. Also, I apologize if the comments sound patronizing; that’s just how my comments turn out when I’m explaining, not documenting.

when gf clicked
set [fall v] to [0] //this is how fast the character is currently falling
set rotation style [left-right v] //makes the player face the right direction
forever
change y by (fall) //this moves the character according to how fast they're falling
if <touching [platform v]?> then //oh no! this last step pushed him into a wall! let's reverse it!
change y by ((0)-(fall)) //moves him the same amount in the opposite direction, reversing the move
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then //player is telling the character to jump
set [fall v] to [10] //jumping makes you move upwards faster!
else //the player wants to land, not jump
set [fall v] to [0] //stop his fall
end
else //he is not touching the ground—airborne!
change [fall v] by (-1) //since he is not on the ground, gravity makes him fall faster
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then //player wants to move left
point in direction (-90 v) //face left
move (10) steps //move left
if <touching [platform v]?> then //he hit a wall!
move (-10) steps //go back
end
end
if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then //player wants to move right
point in direction (90 v) //face right
move (10) steps //right left
if <touching [platform v]?> then //he hit a wall again! (clumsy one, isn’t he?)
move (-10) steps //go back
end
end
end

This would not always work. That is the correct basic principle, but here is the catch: if the jump were to peak while the player is still in the platform, then the player would get stuck. You would need a variable to keep track of what state the velocity was in when first entering the platform. Also, this would screw up the side-side hit detection.

this is to long
