So if you do a low jump he'll still be doing the jump animation on the ground?

So close! Unity comes with a platformer script that does exactly what I want Movement is working almost perfect. The beauty of it is that anybody can edit the script to suit their needs. The only issue I got now is synchronizing the jump animation with the varying jump heights. I think I know what the issue is. The jump animation is one continuous motion, from the take off to the landing. What I think I need to do is split the animation in 2. One animation from the take off to the apex of the jump, then from the apex to the landing. Then, I need to have a boolean that keeps track of when the apex has been reached. When reached, the animation would transition from take off to landing.

Boolean is a true or false variable. Variables are named memory locations. For example:

//Declare a boolean variable. This tells the compiler to
//reserve a space in memory for a boolean value.
//You access the variable by its name.
bool isNob;

//Simple If statement
if (name == "quilliam")
{
isNob = true;
}

That code is very true, JR. If there are two :quilliam: (==) than one of them is certainly a nob of the highest order.

It's probably me, since == is likely super special code language for something and not a typo.

Seriously though, I appreciate all the work you're doing on getting this animation right. Are you getting any help from the Art Team?

Yeah. I've never spoken to Ratchet about work here, and I've never spoken to Aeolus outside of here. I understand Aeo is doing a fair bit of juggling and suppose Ratchet is doing the same with school, but I'm really not sure.

*golf clap gradually leading to mass riots over the course of an hour* Nice work. I'm gonna start drawing tomorrow, controller diagrams and maybe a map. Keep it up.

Let there be blood! And various other icors and uh.... bone chips and ectoplasmic... runoff? And pumpkin seeds. Hey, ideas for blood and gore are flowing in....
