GML Visual SparckMan Tutorial

Hey,

So i was creating a platformer following a tutorial at the bottom from sparckman and my character is slowing down BEFORE touching the floor. it makes a weird effect. ask me any questions if you dont understand but i need help with this.

Only thing I can think of off the top my head is that you have friction and gravity both interacting at the same time while in air. Make sure you set friction to 0 when you jump and set it back to whatever when you land.

I don't have any grasp how DnD works, but try to create condition blocks that separate states in which player is.

var isOnTheGround = place_meating(x,y+1,o_solid); // basically check if on the ground

if (isOnTheGround)
{
   if (moving)
   {
      [playerMovingCode]
   }
   else // not moving
   {
      [playerIdleCode]
   }
}
else // not on the ground
{
   [playerMovingCode]
   [gravityCode]
}

if(collisionHorizontally)
{
   [collisionCode]
}
if(collisionVertically)
{
   [collisionCode]
}

It's simply generalized so you could grasp the idea.

P.S. Do yourself a favor and learn GML, it's more fun and way less limiting. I suggest following several youtubers to learn: Shaun Spalding, HeartBeast, Gloomy Toad Studios, Pixelated Pope, Friendly Astronaut.
