Jumping
One simple way is to use a counter to count how long the actor has been jumping for, and if it gets too high, stop moving up.
Declare the counter inside your class (not inside the method):
Then, something like:
This isn't a complete solution, but it should get you started.
int jumpCounter = 0;
if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("up")) {
jumpCounter++;
if (jumpCounter < 20) {
// move upwards
....
}
}
thanks! only issue with that is that jumpCounter remains at 20 even after the key is released, so a second keyDown check such as the following is needed to reset the count so that the actor could jump later
if(!(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("w")))
jumpCount=0;
