How do I create a cooldown between jumping?

Hey dudes I'm currently working on a game using physics and I need to make a cooldown between jumps because currently if you spam the up arrow key you will literally just fly. The only thing I can think of is something like

Global variable jumpCooldown = 0;

keyboard, key is pressed -

if (jumpCooldown = 0) {

apply physics force etc..

}

keyboard, key is pressed - wait 0.1 seconds - set jumpCooldown = 1;

wait 2 seconds - set jumpCooldown = 0;

this is super flawed but the only thing i could really think of

(When the up arrow is pressed it sets the jumpCooldown variable to 1 after 0.1 seconds and reverts to 0 after say 2 seconds. Then an if statement checks if the variable is equal to 0 and then applys the physics force to create the jump, if it equals 1 it does nothing.)) and im fine trying to learn how to script this if i have to

I'd be super grateful for any help.

That looks fine, although not sure why the short wait is required before setting the variable to 1? You could also use a timer instead of a wait.

if i script this how do I make it so my code is actually referencing the keyboard is pressed functions and stuff?

Do you mean the js scripting? Post questions in here : construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/scripting-51
