Platformer Progress - Wall Jump WIP, Jump-Limiter and SOME pushback off jump

Hello to everyone here, new blog posts are upon us again, I have not all TOO much to delve into just yet, as most of it is just trying to balance out speed of movement, jumping, and falling, but I can relay just a bit of what's going on.


As mentioned before, a bit of the current work is trial-and-erroring with the stats of Moof himself, but mainly I've mentioned Wall-Jumping in the past.


My idea for a Wall-Jump is simple(ish):

Avoiding being exploitable like Megaman X, by instilling a form of limiter to allow vertical scaling but not letting it be broken and infinite.


How I am managing this (Testing):

The current idea is making a limiter via Global Counter, I add one called WallJumps (understandably), and with each Wall-Jump it would go up by one.


With each wall jump up one, the jump strength will go down, to a max of 5 where wall grabbing is doable, but the height is effectively 0.


The implementation is raw currently, but the idea exists.

  • Grabbing while only falling makes him not stick on every jump, significantly drop the fall speed while only the WallGrab animation plays so slowly side down the wall

  • He can jump off and each jump both pushes forward (WIP), and adds a jump to the tally

  • Each jump tally shortens the jump a bit until near 0, the wall jump push back keeping from just holding towards the wall as it ensures no infinite height.

It's a Work-in-Progress, but it progresses so that's good.

The only thing I need to do there is touch up the jump numbers for the tally on bottom, and figure making a bigger push-off from the wall on a wall jump directly, despite the force in the events, 400 and 4 Million seem to give the SAME RESULT, and I do not get it.


Main goal is making the push-off force, and pinpoint stats for movement.

I will try to get these lined up, and hopefully get video soon showing it off should everything work out So until that can happen, this will be all from me for now, not big yet but hoping will be soon.
