Need help with jump cooldown

[Echamiq]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make my first game, it's now just a block moving right, left and up using physics and :applyForce(), but I want my lil' cube to jump only when he is on something. So is there a way for me to get the vertical velocity and the vertical velocity only?

Thanks in advance,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be:

Code: Select all

velX, velY = player.body:getLinearVelocity()
-- Then just use the velY

?
