...when it clearly IS NOT out of place?!

+ Code Snippet

` If the user is not jumping...
   If Jumping = 0
      If Frame < 16
         Paste Sprite 1, RexX, RexY
         Show Sprite 1
         Hide Sprite 2
         Hide Sprite 3
         Hide Sprite 4
      EndIf
      If Frame > 16 and Frame < 31
         Paste Sprite 2, RexX, RexY
         Hide Sprite 1
         Show Sprite 2
         Hide Sprite 3
         Hide Sprite 4
      EndIf
      If Frame > 31
         Paste Sprite 3, RexX, RexY
         Hide Sprite 1
         Hide Sprite 2
         Show Sprite 3
         Hide Sprite 4
         If Frame > 46 Then Frame = 1
      EndIf
   Else
      ` Otherwise, show jump sprite
      Paste Sprite 4, RexX, RexY
      Hide Sprite 1
      Hide Sprite 2
      Hide Sprite 3
      Show Sprite 4
   EndIf

It keeps saying that the ELSE and ENDIF statements are out of place, even though they're working in conjunction with the "If Jumping = 0" line! What the heck is going on?!?!?!

` If the user is not jumping...
If Jumping = 0

really means

` If the user is not jumping...If Jumping = 0

remove the 3 dots that indicates the grouping of lines perhaps

Actually indi, thanks, but I figured it out. Come to think of it that might be the problem, but that's wierd! The problem is a stupid one that's out of my control. It's because I had a comment right above the "If jumping = 0", I guess it was those two dots. Hmmm...peculiar

its the editor recognising commands it shouldn't ... this has happened a few time to me - because you remark a line and add a command like

` if something()=this then somethingelse()
the editor will try to run that like it is part of the code
but you put it like

`if something()=this then somethingelse()
and everything is fine again

some bugs i hope will be squished with the editor v1.1

Me too raven

I have another question. See, now that I have my cheese-it physics and jumping engine working, what would be the west way to make it so that your character doesn't constantly jump if you hold down the control key (which is the jump button in my game)? I want to do some kind of delay so that if I hold down jump, my sprite doesn't stay on the jump frame and bounce of and down like he's made of rubber or something...lol

thank you

Just an idea, and only one way to do it, but try a variable for control.

+ Code Snippet



cont = 0

If cont = 1
Timer2 = GET SYSTEM TIME()
ELSE
Timer2 = 0
ENDIF

IF Timer2 - Timer = 3000
cont = 0
ENDIF


If cont = 0
cont = 1

REM Insert code for jumping here

timer = GET SYSTEM TIME()
ENDIF

Ack! My kingdom for an edit button!

Should make the line that says "IF Timer2 - Timer = 3000" say instead "IF Timer2 - Timer > 3000". Most likely, it will never exactly equal 3000, and alter the 3000 to whatever time you want the user to have to wait before being able to jump again.

It's not a bug. The three dots indicate to the editor that the line and the following line should be joined before being passed to the compiler.

If you upgrade your editor from RGT the continuation character has been changed to the uderscore character, and further, is definable by you.

I would use a flag eg

if jumpkeypressed = yes and keypressed = 0 then jump: keypressed = 1
if jumpkeypressed <> yes then keypressed = 0

get the idea, eh!

when the jumpkey is pressed the keypressed flag is et to one and will not allow another jump until the jumpkeypressed becomes false.

Or you could keypressed = 20 then dec keypressed but if it drops below 0 make it 0. Thus you get a pause of upto a frame etc
