Hi @Lucious_Jansma,

Check this post on jumping:

How can I make my character jump?

You have to attach a script & make sure the player has a rigidbody & collision component attached to it. Make sure the rigidbody is type Dynamic. Then code a script similar to this: //Variables var force = 600; //You can change the value if you want. NewScript.prototype.initialize = function() { this.app.keyboard.on(pc.EVENT_KEYDOWN, this.onKeyDown, this); }; NewScript.prototype.update = function(dt) { if (this.app.keyboard.wasPressed(pc.KEY_SPACE)) { this.entity.rigidbody.app…

Make sure to use the forum search function, there is plenty of material that can help you out.

hey when i insert the script is there anything i need to change???

You are making me have dejavu, didn’t we have this conversation today again?

How To Make Script That Allows Player To Jump?

Try increasing the impulse value to something bigger, like 100 or 1000, the body has a big mass. If that doesn’t work, try posting a sample project to take a look why it doesn’t work for you.

Hey @Lucious_Jansma,

I had a quick look through your project, so the issue was the jump script you had in place was empty. You create a Jump script but there was no code in the script methods.

I’ve added the following code in the update method and now jumping works:

Jump.prototype.update = function(dt) {
    if (this.app.keyboard.wasPressed(pc.KEY_SPACE)) {
        this.entity.rigidbody.applyImpulse(0, 1000, 0);
    }    
};

ohhh thank you my fault

[Lucious_Jansma]

what about the jump limit because i can jump indefinetly

[Leonidas]

You will have to enforce a rule to not allow jumping when your player is airborne. The proper way of doing this would be to do a raycast downwards for each frame and detect when your player is on the ground.

Allow jumping only when the player body touches the ground.

[Lucious_Jansma]

where do i find that?

[Leonidas]

You will have to code it, study some tutorials or example project that implement raycast on how it works.
