Smooth 2D Jumping

I am trying to make my personal platforming engine, my jumps are just triangles, and I'm trying to recreate a parabola while moving left and right.

Currently, your jump is 2 linear lines.
A real jump is a parabola.

You need a velocity variable. Always change the position by the velocity. When you jump, just set the velocity to 7 or so, and for every tick, change the velocity by -1

How long is a scratch tick if I may ask?

A scratch tick is this:

This will change by 1 for every scratch tick. It's every frame, and since scratch runs at 30fps, that's 30 ticks per second.

That worked, thank you. My new problem is that my resetting function (coming back to on top of the floor) Isn't fast enough.

Try putting it in a run without screen refresh block.

I may be doing this wrong but, when I put in the forever loop to the reset code, It lags my computer considerably.

Oh, yes you are. What will happen when you try and run an infinite process in one tick?
just remove the forever, and wrap the call in a forever.

It still dips into the ground for a little bit

Can you share your project?

Yes, your loop needs to look something like this:

Then, the loop should look like this:

Thank you very much, I believe I can handle it from here

I also don't know how but that accidentally added double jumping, So thanks for that too!

Ok. New problem, during the walljump code, it doesn't go up, it just lets go.

At this point, I think you should look up a tutorial. I thank you for asking, and being patient with me, but I am quite busy and won't be able to go through each game feature.
