How can I make my character jump?

[Robin]

Code: Select all

      player.y = player.y - player.ySpeed * frame -- If we are, We undo that moving down

That way, the player will hover above the ground a tiny bit. To fix that, I would make that line:

Code: Select all

      player.y = 400

Yes, I know, but I didn't do that because it makes the code easier to adapt to real platforms, like tilemaps or whatever else.

[Robin]

Then I would still do something like:

Code: Select all

      player.y = colliding_platform.y

That, or proper collision resolution, which is hard.

wait a minute. I allways thought that is the proper version haha.

For me, I only get an error. It says: } expected to close {.
when I already have a } ?

[Robin]

Maybe it was closed at the wrong position, or you have more than one {.

[Kasperelo]

Well, I only get an error message...

I wasn't able to make the gane run at all (That's probably because it's incomplete) but to get rid of the error messages you have to do this.When you make a table you have to put commas after each "entry". So instead of having it like this.

Code: Select all

player = {
		guy = love.graphics.newImage("graphics/mobs/player1.png")
		x = 475
		y = 375
		health = 3
		Xspeed = 5
		yspeed = 0
		gravSpeed = 1.5
	}

You would have it like this

Code: Select all

player = {
		guy = love.graphics.newImage("graphics/mobs/player1.png"),
		x = 475,
		y = 375,
		health = 3,
		Xspeed = 5,
		yspeed = 0,
		gravSpeed = 1.5
	}

Also in your code you have these last few lines.

Code: Select all

if gamestateExtra == "playing" and love.keyboard.isDown("w") then
		if inAir == false then
			player.y = 
		
	
end

You'll need to fill in and finish that statement or else you will get an error message. I wasn't sure what you were planning with that so I just filled in some thing random like this.

Code: Select all

if gamestateExtra == "playing" and love.keyboard.isDown("w") then
		if inAir == false then
			player.y = 375 -- Fill in 375 with whatever you need.
		end
	end
end --  Don't forget to add these ends on.

Also in your conf.lua you had the version as "0.1.0" This isn't the version of the game it's the version of love it was made for. I assumed 0.8.0 So I changed that to 0.8.0. One last thing if you want your changes in the conf.lua to work before your love.load you need to put require "conf" like this

Code: Select all

require "conf"

function love.load()

This won't make your game work because it seem like you haven't set up your menu or other features yet. This will however remove all of the error screens. I have attached a .love with all the edits.

Hope this helps,

Require 'conf' is completely useless, 'cause LOVE does it automatically

[Kasperelo]

What?
