Can anyone explain a good approach to designing a top down movement system where the player can jump up and down from map tiles of different heights? It doesn't have to be full 3D mechanics (i.e. multiple platforms above each other), just one map surface with varying height.
I can imagine that moving characters would have to constantly check whether they are standing on a surface or falling, gravity would need to be included in the z-direction, and you would have to check if the next tile you are trying to walk on is too high up and therefore you are hitting a wall/cliff, but the overall design is unclear to me and feels awkward.
Thanks
