Jumping not jumping as far as force set

[Omle555]

First of all, im new to play maker buying it today

When my character jumps he only moves about an inch where as the tutorial showed him moving 4-5X that. tried adding force does not change.

Ideas?

Hi.
i'm not sure what tutorial you are following, but i think the force mode needs to be set to 'impulse'

Can you give the link to the tutorial?

[Omle555]

at approx 16 minutes they start talking about jumping.

Hi.
its an older playmaker version, on that version there was no force mode yet on the action.

Try setting force mode to 'Impulse'

[Omle555]

Impulse doesn't do anything at all.

[Omle555]

Ok, i read somewhere it couyld be because my Rigidbody 2D is not set to forced update or something? how do i change that?

At your rigidbody change discrete > continuous
Although i’m not really sure if that is the problem.

Try to change the force velocity value to extreme number as 10000 and see if it works

Pretty sure that the rigidbody mass and the pixel per unit affecting the impulse number.

Hi.
Yes mass gravity drag are all affecting force

Force velocity can be set at anything on impulse and it still does nothing.
Set it to Force and it will jump with excessive numbers but barely any for smaller numbers (doesn't look like a jump, asd the animation is crazy high.)

Changed mass to excessively low, still nothing.
changed rigidbody 2d to continuous collision detection, nothing.

Hi.
can you show image of your rigidbody settings?

[Omle555]

I just don't get it, tutorials get it no matter what i try nothing.

[djaydino]

hi,
try setting gravity scale to 1

[Omle555]

Still 0 movement, not even slightly.
getting really close to giving up playmaker. been trying days just to get this silly thing to jump.

Hi, I'm interested to see your setup, do you mind sending me your scene as an attachment?

Gravity scale 15 is really high! Around 2—5 is decent setting.

If that’s not it, I guess you are overriding velocity and that’s why it’s not lifting off. Disable your movement FSM or similar, and try it. Then make sure that the offending action (probably set velocity) does not interfere with velocity Y.
