Triple Jumping, I'm clueless

If gamemaker use variables.
Get the game to set a variable when you hit the ground and wait a second or so before switching it off. If you jump when the variable is still set, make yourself jump higher, ect.

yeah, variables solves all. I did mid-air jumping once using almost this same method, too. It reseted when you touched the floor, and it would change if you jumped once.

I tried that I had soem problems..

Pseudocode:

if ( key(JUMP) && jump_count < 3 ) {
jump_count++;
jump_delay = 0;
jump(); // Whatever the code is to start a jump
}

if ( Player1.onground && jump_count > 0 ) {
if ( jump_delay >= 10 ){
jump_delay = 0;
jump_count = 0;
{ else {
jump_delay++;
}
}

thats exactly what my code is in a nutshell

Yeah, I use the variable method too for my triple jumping in Super Mario Legacy, except I don't have it timed absolute, in seconds; instead, I have a counter which resets and starts to increment itself when Mario hits the ground. When it reaches a certain number, it resets itself, and a double/triple jump is no longer possible at this point.

If you do jump in the timeframe, a variable called typeOfJump is incremented (unless it already equals 2, which is a triple jump). The jump height and animation for Mario are chosen based on if statements of this variable.

This looks good I'll try this
oh btw the variable thing is impossible

Actually, now that I've done a full examination of it, Draco's code is pretty much what I was talking about in the earlier post.

Unless you're talking about Dr. Light's/Chronii's post.

... this is the shortest contradiction I've ever seen. fjsdfjdsg

My post there uses two variables. That's "the variable thing".

I meant the one I tried, sorry

Yea, kinnda
EDIT: spelling

Ok finally trying Dracos code

But I need to know what are the 2 variables and what do I set them to

dp, darn Flood control

they'd be variables of the given names and defined within the player object.

they'd be initialized as 0.

Ah ok brb trying it out now
