On another forum they said it was possible with counters. They didn't say how to use them in this situation for some reason

Can you explain it step by step please? I'm not very good at using the X and Y values unless I'm trying to make something appear a certain place.

The shadow has 8-directional movement and the character has 8-directional movement with the same speed. Now we need two counters. Call the first one "Jump" and make the maximum value the jump height you want. Next, name the second one "Fall" and also make this the same maximum amount as "Jump". Events. "Jump" Is 0, "Fall' is 0: Position Character on shadow Shift is pressed, Jump is 0: Set "Jump" to (maximum value of "Jump" counter) "Jump" is greater than 0: Position Y of character to Y of character - "Jump" value subtract 1 from "Jump" (Negate) Character is overlapping shadow, "Jump" is 0: Add 1 to "Fall" "Fall" is greater than 0: Position Y of character to Y of character + "Fall" Value Collision between Character and shadow: Set "Fall" to 0 I'm going to test this.

However, if you're looking for true isometric movement like SMRPG, where you jump to platforms of different height, walk under and behind things etc, it's orders or magnitude more difficult. --------------------
