How do I have continued momentum during jump

Hey All. What I am trying to do is during the players jump continue the forward momentum when the player is not using the left join stick. One thing I thought of that I figured would work is the following:

Event - animations - Is animation "idle" NOT playing

SUBEvent - player - Platform is jumping

-or-

SUBEvent - player - Platform is falling

SubSubEvent - player is NOT mirrored - simulate platform pressing Right

SubSubEvent - player is mirrored - simulate platform pressing Left

This however does not seem to do what I want, which is only apply the simulation when the player was running. As a side note (is Moving) does not work as it seems jumping/falling triggers that.

So with this result if I jump while standing still the player then moves to the left or right depending on which way I am facing when instead should just jump straight up as normal.

Any thoughts on how to do this? I would think the not for idle animation would keep if from entering the subevents but that does not seem to be the case.

Ok I see the fault in my was here. Once I jump or fall the idle animation is no longer player there for can enter the subevents. I will continue to brain storm this one.

Ok so I figured this out. I created a variable on the player calling moving (default to false). Then in my normal movement event I added an action to set moving to true. I then added a new event for when idle animation is playing to set moving to false. Then in the SUBEvent I added a condition of is Moving from player.

You might just want to try lowering your platform deceleration while he's in the air. Something like:

Player is jumping

OR

Player is falling

Set player deceleration to 100

Else

Set player deceleration to 1500

Thanks calebbennetts but that only slows down the player in the fall. I was looking for forward and backward momentum. Currently what I setup is working great. If I find a better way Ill be sure to post it back here.
