Legacy GM Plays Animation when Dropping from a certain height?

[RayLemun]

Hey.. I'm STILL new to Game Maker studio, how do I get so the player to plays a landing delay animation? So, it could look a lot more natural rather than landing on feet from a high place

Here an example of what I'm trying to achieve

Any help would be great!
Thanks!~

does your player fall at a constant speed or does it speed up as it falls . im pretty terrible at coding but when i had this issue i made my players speed gradually increase as he fell up to a point (terminal velocity) and at a certain vertical speed have the animation triggered

That is probably a hopelessly bad way of doing it but it works

Hmm, can translate that in codes? I'm not very confident in my coding skills..
and yes, the player do falls at a constant speed.

You could try so when in the air, trigger an alarm and if the alarm reaches -1 before landing, set the animation to true.

Hi RayLemun

I use vspeed variable for jumping and falling in my player character.
In my STEP EVENT, I use this:


Don't forget to store vspeed = 0 in your create event just to be sure.

@Maksymilian
Are you showing me codes for the player's jumping animation?

@trentallain
That might work! I'll try that soon.. I'm at somewhere else now, thanks!

 

[Maksymilian]

Yes!
