_L_: Jump Floatiness Bugfix ¬_¬

[Joe123]

* Finally remembered to reduce the 'floatiness' at the apex of Link's jump. I know a few people were unhappy with it, so here it is. This should only slightly reduce the distance of Link's jump, but if you were counting on that exact jump length... maybe you could try lowering the Gravity variable a little bit? ( _L_, 2007-11-04 07:50:25 )

_L_, in doing this you've apparently broken my roc's cape script.

Would you mind informing me of exactly how you've changed this to differ with the older version?

How many frames it now takes for Link to reach a jump height of two from standing would be nice, along with any other changes you've made. I'm using the Hover Boots with a duration of 15 at the moment, which used to correlate to 15 frames before the hoverboots kicked in, then 60 frames (so delay duration*4 frames) before they stopped. This is no longer true.

[_L_]

Here's what I did!

The number of frames that Link spends at the apex of his jump without Z movement (that is, where his Jump value is less than 1) has been cut by two.

(P.S: What is this Roc's Cape script? If I was making it, I would simply put a hard cap on the negative minimum of Link->Jump for awhile.)

(P.P.S: That reminds me: currently the Link->Jump value is scaled up to match Gravity. Now that you can edit Gravity, this behaviour seems a little unintuitive, so I might change it.)

Hrmmm

Right ok. Well how does that mesh with the hoverboots then?
I think I'm just going to have to experiment and change things around really arent I.

All my script does is give Link a LTM item that changes his walking sprites to using the Roc's Cape whilst he's using the hoverboots :shrug:

if(usecape == 1){
timer3++;
if(timer3 == 15){switch2 = 1;}
if(switch2 == 1 && Link->Z > 18){
Link->Item[cape] = true;
timer2++;
Link->InputA = false; Link->InputB = false;
if(Link->Z <18){usecape = 0; Link->Item[cape] = false; switch2 = 0; timer2 = 0; timer3 = 0;}
if(timer2 == 60){usecape = 0; Link->Item[cape] = false; switch2 = 0; timer2 = 0; timer3 = 0;}
}
}

It's only really a few lines so I'll go fix it in due course.
Which will wait until you've finished messing with how it interacts with the gravity, because I don't really want to have to change it again.

The jumping layer threshold is really great though, thanks for that.
