Can somebody tell me how to make a character jump in a platform game?

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [up arrow or space v] pressed?> then
    
repeat [number]
    
change y by [number]
end

end
end

You should also have a separate script that says

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <not <touching [ground v]?>> then
    
change y by [same number as jump]
end
end

that doesnt work

Mind sharing a screenshot? That would make it easier to help. If you don't want to, then look how I did it in my coding for my platform game. Just look at the scripts under sprite 2.

when green flag clicked
forever
    
set [Y v] to [0]
if <key [Up Arrow v] pressed?> then
repeat (20)
change [Y v] by (0.3)
change y by (y)
    
end
    
end
end

Hope this helped!

Maybe this?

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <not <touching color [platform color]?>> then
change y by (-3)    
end
end

Or what ever - number you want.

If i hold up it keeps going up how do i stop this

when green flag clicked
forever
    
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
    
repeat (10)
    
change y by (1)
end
repeat (10)
    
change y by (-1)
end

end

end

Hope this helps!

This should be more accurate.

when green flag clicked
forever
    
set [y v] to [0]
if <key [Up Arrow v] pressed?> then
set [y v] to [10 --depending on how high you want to jump.]
end
if <(onGround) = [false]> then
change [y v] by [-2 --depends on gravity]
end
change x by (x)
change y by (y)
end
