Well hello again!

Im trying to make an jump&run game - and i want to let my player-character jump.
Everything seems to work fine, but it feels like the character is on the moon and floating around instead of falling.

so i try to make more gravity and set:

SetPhysicsGravity( 0, 1000 ) (same)
it seems a bit better- but still, the gravity is very moonish
so i did:
SetPhysicsGravity( 0, 2000 ) (same)
so i did:
SetPhysicsGravity( 0, 10000) (same)
SetPhysicsGravity( 0, 10000000 )(same)
it almost seems like the gravity is capped somewhere between 1000 and 2000.
SetPhysicsGravity( 0, 10) (very low gravity)
^Works the gravity is low


i even turned the damping restituion and even friction off, same results.....

SetSpritePhysicsFriction(sprID, 0 ) //no friction
SetSpritePhysicsRestitution(sprID, 0 ) //no bounce
SetSpritePhysicsDamping( sprID, 0 ) //no airresistance


now my question:

what am i doing wrong?

Without seeing your code, my guess would be your scale is off. Try changing it with setphysicsscale.

Default value is 0.2, so try setphysicsscale(0.4) to see if that makes any difference.
This function must be called before any other physics functions, and must not be called once the physics system is running.

I never considered scale before. I always just changed the physics step to .2 or something. How does scale work as appose to physics stepping?
