Hi, I need a character to, well, jump to the left. It's really simple. The code doesn't seem so simple. I need help on how to make it do that. If you can tell me, please do! It's the main mechanic of the game and I really need to know how to make it look normal, natural and smooth.

Use this code to make the sprite jump smoothly to the left.

when I receive [Jump Left v]
set [gravity v] to (20) //Change 20 for a higher or lower jump
repeat until <boolean you want to use to finish jumping :: operators boolean>
change y by (gravity)
change x by (-10) //Change -10 to jump farther or shorter, but making it positive will make it jump to the right
change [gravity v] by (-1) //Change -1 for stronger or weaker gravity. 
End

ive never heard of gravity, which is weird since ive used scratch for 3 years. thanks a lot, but its not activated via broadcasting but i can change it. also whats boolean you want to use to finish jumping

WHERE EVEN IS SET TO GRAVITY

WHAT IS THIS? I DONT NEED YOUR HELP ANYMORE

WAIT A SECOND, I UNDERSTAND THE REASON BEHIND THIS STUFF. THANK YOU A LOT

none of this IS HELPING (removed by moderator - please keep it polite)! (added by CybaWrecker - SHUSH IDC IF YOU'RE A MOD) I WANT A SMOOTH JUMP WITH NO GRAVITY OR VELOCITY, I JUST WANT A QUICK JUMP THAT GOES DOWN THAT LOOKS SMOOTH

Gravity is a variable. You can’t make a smooth jump without variables.

I KNOW THAT DID YOU NOT SEE MY COMMENTS NYYYYY YOU GUYS ARE REALLY ANNOYING ME

Could you please elaborate more clearly on your problem? Solutions and working scripts have been provided, but you don’t seem to find them helpful. You said that you don’t want velocity, or gravity, but if you want to make the jumping arc look smooth and realistic, then gravity and velocity is the only way to do that. You could manually code in smaller and different movement blocks, but that is highly inefficient and would require you to hand code that script for each sprite you want to do the motion. Additionally, every time you want to make a sprite jump in a different arc, the script would have to be hand coded again with varying values and motion. I don’t completely understand your problem, and I would like to help in any way I can.

Calm down jamal!!!!



Now to actually answer your question

when green flag clicked
change [y velocity v] by (15) // this is the jump script
forever
set [y velocity v] to <(y velocity) / (0.9)>
change y by (y velocity)

all that happened was it went to the top of the screen. The most useless yet!

Uhhh this works I tested it

when [space v] key pressed
repeat (2)
change y by (10)
end
repeat (2)
change y by (5)
end
repeat (2)
change y by (3)
end
wait (0.001) secs
repeat (2)
change y by (-10)
end
repeat (2)
change y by (-5)
end
repeat (2)
change y by (-2)
end

And also don't be rude, if you be rude you may get banned

tysm! its so smooth, and its the exact right height, but i need it to go left as well. thanks a lot! you're the only help, and since you are, ill stop being rude

You're welcome
If you want it to go left as well then:

when [space v] key pressed
repeat (2)
change y by (10)
change x by (-4)
end
repeat (2)
change y by (5)
change x by (-4)
end
repeat (2)
change y by (3)
change x by (-4)
end
wait (0.001) secs
repeat (2)
change y by (-10)
change x by (-4)
end
repeat (2)
change y by (-5)
change x by (-4)
end
repeat (2)
change y by (-2)
change x by (-4)
end

Bro CybaWrecker going crazy.

Yeah this doesn’t work though CybaWrecker was right: the sprite does go to the top of the screen.

However, here is a script with smooth gravity:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [up arrow/space] pressed?> then
set [ gravity] to [0]
repeat until <[gravity] = [whatever jump height you want, I used ten]>
change y by (Gravity)
change [gravity] by (whatever, you want. I used 1, which worked pretty well and was smooth)
end
repeat until <[gravity] = [0]>
change y by (Gravity)
change [gravity] by (the opposite of the first change gravity by, for me it would be -1)
end
end
end
