Having a little bug in my ground pounding

This is very hard to explain so to see for your self Download the the exe and attempt to ground pound, when you hit the ground keep holding down, you get stuck and have to restart ( R )

I'm using a different object for GPing here's all the code (some D&D), for that object.

Animation end

Collision with obj_ground

Alarm 0

Also if you know a better way to do gping please share
Thanks!
EDIT: Spelling

when you collide with the ground use something like:


*collisioncode here*
if ground_pound=1
{
alarm[0]=3
ground_pound=0
}





try that...

First of all, don´t use multiple objects for each chara or enemy or whatev, there´s a small trick called phase variable + if phase=number condition

like 0 is standing
1 = walking
2 = running
3 = jumping
4 = groundpounding

step event

if phase = 0
//do standing stuff
if phase = 1
//do walking stuff
if phase = 2
//do running stuff
if phase = 3
//do jumping stuff
if phase = 4
//do groundpounding stuff


because the condition is set to only react when phase has a certain value, it only executes those action, you get the idea

How would that help?
Becuse there is no groundpound variable.

@Latia
I really don't want to redo my whole engine just yet :[

then make a ground pound var... it will help...

Is the ground object a solid?
Even if its not, I suggest doing something like
{
Vspeed = 0
Gravity = 0
y = other.y (is the y-axis of the sprite is at the top then replace "other.y" with "other.y-(whatever the y length of the sprite is)
}

Sorry for off-topic.

When I read the thread name, I thought there was a bug on the ground near you pounding something ;P

I actually laughed a little.

Hmm this sounds logical, so I'll try it
