            falling=true;

        end

What am I trying to do? Well for starters ive always been unhappy with the collision system. You can sink into platforms and stuff and I discovered that instead of doing ii, the regular x/y stuff works. Problem is I cant figure out how to rewrite the jumping/falling portion to use y instead. I have these set up in private:

Code Select Expand

    walk_speed = 3.8;
    jump_speed = 3.8;
        jump_apex = 19;
apex is the climax of the jump by the way. Anytime I manage to get a system with y's, the player disappears (cause i usually have it set so when you land on a platform, y+=0;). I was wondering how I change the y system of my player. thanks

post your c# program please

[MisterN]

what?

[FreeYourMind]

no C#, no help xD

[MisterN]

i don't know what youre talking about.

[FreeYourMind]

Sorry, I'm kiding, but i'm curious about your c# program :)

[MisterN]

give me your email and i will send it, its just a shell though, it really doesnt do much.

could you help with the y?

Tomorrow I take a look if nobody help you.
Thanks

[MisterN]

so youll help now?

[FreeYourMind]

sorry, i'm busy today, tomorrow, i promess, by the way, you don't send me the c# program...

[MisterN]

i havent gotten home till now ill zip it up and send it off

[FreeYourMind]

taking a fast look at your code:

put this only one time inside the loop ... frame; end

pixel = map_get_pixel(0, levelmask, levelmap.playerx+12, levelmap.playery);

after this, put player 'if' conditions, don't use the while sentence because you only need to get the pixel one time per frame inside the main loop.
This value is valid for all stuffs of conditions you put after that in the same process...

At the night I will try your demo to help you

[MisterN]

could you email me an example later?

EDIT:

doing what you said to do does not work
